ETC statement not showing & historical-records lookup

An independent neutral troubleshooting reference for cases where the MEISAI Inquiry Service shows no ETC records, plus how to handle records older than the ~15-month window or the 62-day corporate-card window.

Short answer

Common reasons include reflection-timing delays, the wrong login account, OBU-management-number registration state, post-re-setup propagation, or the 15-month / 62-day retention limits. Check search conditions, period, target card, and target vehicle first; contact the MEISAI Inquiry Service office if the issue persists. JTR does not resolve display problems but organises a MEISAI-registered account's records into daily PDF + CSV for your own long-term storage.

Checks when records are not showing

  • Verify the search period includes the trip date (default views often show only a recent window).
  • Clear card / vehicle filters and re-search.
  • Confirm the login ID is the one that registered the ETC card. Records may be on another ID.
  • Records may take time to reflect (typically same-day to a few days; longer over holidays).
  • After a re-setup, allow propagation time for new vehicle / OBU info.
  • Confirm you are within retention (15 months / 62 days). Records beyond that must be in your own storage.
  • Cash-lane / non-ETC trips are not recorded on the MEISAI Inquiry Service.

Records beyond the 15-month / 62-day window

  • Records beyond the windows are generally not retrievable from MEISAI.
  • Download PDFs / CSVs early and store them yourself.
  • As alternative documentation, combine card-issuer statements, internal reimbursement records, and journal entries.
  • For e-Storage Act retention requirements, see the dedicated guide.
