Important dates

The physical Rejsekort is being phased out

The physical Rejsekort will be closed down gradually.

It is no longer possible to travel using a physical Rejsekort in buses, local trains, or light rail services in Jutland and on Funen.

On 29 June 2026, it will be the last travel day in Zealand and for trains operated by DSB and GoCollective across the country.

The additional month is intended to ensure a smooth transition to the new solutions, as many passengers in Zealand still travel using the physical Rejsekort, and some ticket types for the Basic Card will only become available later.

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

How to travel in the future

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

• Rejsekort app: Check in and out in the app and pay for your trips as you go at the same price you’re used to with the physical Rejsekort.
• Basiskort (physical card): Check in and out at ticket machines at the same price as 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, you can also get it digitally in the app.

Remaining amount

Kortet kan ved bortkomst spærres ved henvendelse til den trafikvirksomhed, det er udstedt hos. Ved spærring tilbagebetales restperioden fratrukket 8 dage.
If you have a balance remaining when your Rejsekort closes on 30 June, 2026, we will automatically deposit the amount into your NemKonto.
 
Refunds of any remaining balance and any outstanding card fees are expected to be processed in August 2026.

 

Since you did not pay for the plastic card itself, you will not receive a refund for the remaining balance when the physical Rejsekort is discontinued on 30 June, 2026.

Last day of travel

If you check in with your card before the ticket gates close at 23:59 on 29 June, 2026, you can continue your journey after midnight.
 
Traveling past midnight on 29-30 June, 2026:
 
If you check in with your Rejsekort on 29 June and your journey does not end until after midnight, that is, on 30 June, your Rejsekort remains valid as a ticket. Please note, however, that you cannot check in again after midnight, but your first check-in will still be valid as a ticket if you encounter a ticket inspection. 
 
You can still end your journey after midnight, and your Rejsekort will still be valid as a ticket if you encounter a ticket inspection.

Alternatives to the physical Rejsekort

Til dig, der foretrækker et fysisk kort, kan du bestille Ungdomskort på Basiskort via ungdomskort.dk.

Du kan allerede nu skifte til appen Rejsebillet, hvor du kan få vist dit Ungdomskort. Her kan du læse mere om Rejsebillet, og du kan downloade den i App Store eller Google Play. 

Special conditions

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

Disposal of the card

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.
