CP Digital Card – What is it for?

This is the digital version of the CP Card, available on the CP App and at CP Website, which replaces the physical card and lets you travel without carrying it.

You can:

  • Buy, top up and travel with the Green Rail Pass (including booking seats on Intercidades trains).
  • View other tickets loaded onto the card (note: you can currently view these tickets, and validation is available through other channels).

You can request the physical card, which always includes the digital version, or opt for the digital card only.

The digital version currently only allows you to top up the Green Rail Pass at the moment.

By requesting it online or at the ticket office.

The following options are available:

  • Physical card: always includes the digital version;
  • Digital card: you may choose only the digital version (available in the CP App and CP Website).
    • Cost: €0.50 (valid only for the Green Rail Pass).

The CP Digital Card will be accessible in the CP App and CP Website myCP under Wallet > Mobility Cards, provided that the email used in the request matches the one registered in your myCP account.

Yes. The physical CP Card will automatically be available in the CP App and CP Website under Wallet > Mobility Cards, provided that the email used in the card request is the same as the one registered in your myCP account.

You should change the email of the CP Card:

Or change the email of the myCP account:

  • Access your Customer Area > My Data and delete the current account;
  • Or send an email requesting deletion to CP’s Data Protection Officer.
  • Afterwards, you can create a new myCP account using the same email as the one used when requesting the CP Card.

Please note that creating a new account implies the loss of all previous account data, including purchases and support requests.
