How to Duplicate or Clone Your UHF Parking Tag (Garage Sticker or Windshield Tag)
Need an extra garage sticker for your apartment or rental unit? Whether you’re sharing access with a partner or running an Airbnb, getting another UHF parking tag doesn’t have to be a hassle.
What Is a UHF Parking Tag?
A UHF (Ultra High Frequency) parking tag is a type of RFID used to automate garage or gate access. These tags are usually windshield stickers, hang tags, or access cards. Because UHF has a longer read range than traditional key fobs, it enables seamless vehicle entry—no reaching out the window.
Problem: replacing or duplicating a tag through property management can be slow or expensive. Solution: copy your existing tag at home.
Why You Might Need a Duplicate UHF Garage Tag
Apartment Residents
- Share garage access with a partner, roommate, or caretaker
- Keep a spare for valet, dog walkers, or temporary visitors
- Avoid being stuck if a tag is lost or misplaced
Airbnb & Short-Term Rentals
- Provide tags for guests, cleaners, or maintenance
- Reduce risk by issuing duplicates, not originals
- Swap easily between vehicles as needed

Sticker vs. Access Card: Which Should You Choose?
