The OV-chipkaart is being discontinued. Switch to OVpay and check in and out with your debit card or the new OV-pas. Finding the switch difficult? Visit the U-OV service shop in Utrecht or Amersfoort. We will help you personally, without an appointment.
At our service shops, you can buy an OV-pas directly for €6. Our staff will take the time to help you step by step: together, you choose the right pass and, if necessary, add a travel product to it. This means you can travel with OVpay the same day. From 5 through 16 October, extra OVpay staff will be available to help you at the Utrecht service shop.
Need help adding a travel product to your card? Bring the following to the service shop:
* an email address
* a debit card or OV card
* a clear photo of your face
* with a debit card: a journey with that card in the last 30 days
* with a debit card: your banking app or bank statement
Then switching to OVpay is even easier. Check in with your debit card or OV-pas and you're ready to go. You don't need a travel product.
