Youth Card

The physical Rejsekort closes

The physical Rejsekort will be phased out. The last check-in for buses, local trains, and light rail in Jutland and Funen is on 28 May 2026. On 29 June 2026, the final check-in applies in Zealand and on DSB and GoCollective trains.

The extra month is intended to ensure a smooth transition to the new solutions, as many people on Zealand still travel with the physical Rejsekort, and a few ticket types for Basiskort will only be ready later.

If you no longer travel with the physical Rejsekort, you do not need to do anything.

How you can travel in the future

Here you can see your options for travelling by bus, train, metro and light rail in the future:

• Rejsekort app: Check in and out in the app and pay continuously for your journeys at the same price you know from the physical Rejsekort.

• Basiskort (physical card): Check in and out at card readers at the same price you know from the physical Rejsekort. Choose between a personal or anonymous Basiskort.

• Rejsebillet app: Buy single tickets, commuter passes and special tickets in the app. If you travel with a Youth Card (Ungdomskort), you can also get it digitally in the app.

Your balance is automatically transferred to your NemKonto

If you have money remaining when the physical Rejsekort closes, we will automatically transfer the amount to your NemKonto as quickly as possible. If you have an Anonymous Rejsekort, however, you must request the money to be paid out yourself. Read more here.

 

In case of loss, the card can be blocked by contacting the transport company that issued it. When the card is blocked, the remaining period will be refunded minus 8 days.

Your balance is automatically transferred to your NemKonto. If you have money on your card when your Youth Card closes on 28 May 2026, we will automatically deposit the amount into your NemKontoas soon as possible. 8 days will not be deducted from the payout.

As you have not paid for the plastic card itself, you will not receive any remaining card price paid out when the physical Rejsekort closes on 30 June 2026.

If you check in with your card before the card readers close at 23:59 pm on 28 May 2026, you can continue your journey after midnight.

Travel across midnight on 28–29 May 2026:
If you check in with your Rejsekort on 28 May, and the journey is only completed after midnight, i.e. on 29 May, your Rejsekort will still be valid as a ticket. However, please note that from midnight you cannot check in again, but your first check-in will still be valid as a ticket if you meet ticket inspection.

You can still complete your journey after midnight, and your Rejsekort will still be valid as a ticket if you meet ticket inspection.

For those of you who prefer a physical card when travelling by public transport, you can order a Youth Card on Basiskort via ungdomskort.dk.

As a starting point, your Rejsekort must be disposed of in residual waste, both at home and at the recycling station. If you are in doubt, you must follow the waste rules in your municipality. The Rejsekort consists of plastic with a built-in chip that contains metal. The materials cannot be separated, and therefore the card cannot be sorted as plastic.

Please note that replacement cards must be ordered and personal information must be edited directly to ungdomskort.dk
