Do the following
The organisation's registration point orders the replacement cards from the Vartti system. The registration point should make sure they have enough blank replacement cards available.
A cardholder can pick up the replacement card directly from the registration point if the registration personnel activates it for the cardholder’s use. The applicant of a replacement card must be identified appropriately. The replacement card's period of validity is defined upon delivery. The cardholder sets PIN codes for the replacement card themselves.
A replacement card for a healthcare smart card can be claimed from any registration point of public health service. A replacement card for an ID card for non-regulated social and health care workers or an ID card for non-clinical healthcare sector staff must be claimed from their own registration point.
When a cardholder returns a replacement card to a registration point, the data on the card is wiped.
To whom and on what terms
