Your special solution alternative to the digital ticket: semester ticket chip card
As at: 15.10.24
About the special Deutschland-Semesterticket chip card solution
From the winter semester 24/25, there will no longer be paper cards as a special solution to the cell phone ticket for students, but a chip card if the use of a cell phone ticket is not possible. If required, you can order the chip card using the online form below and KVG will then send it to you by post.
When the chip card is applied for, the entitlement to the mobile phone ticket automatically expires, which can then no longer be applied for for the semester in question and will be blocked.
The chip card automatically becomes invalid at the end of the last day of the semester. Please keep the card in case of a possible extension to the following semester, it can then be reused after a new application.
How to order the Deutschland-Semesterticket chip card:
- Step 1: Fill out the online form
- Step 2: Receive a confirmation e-mail and confirm your application by clicking on the confirmation link in the mail.
- Step 3 Receive chip card by post
