Activating the T-mobilitat card
Activating the T-mobilitat card
Why and where should I activate the T-mobilitat card?
For security purposes, the T-mobilitat card is inactivated when it is sent to you by post, so you must activate it to start using it. You can activate your card on the TMB App or by going to a vending machine on the metro network.
What do I need to activate my T-mobilitat card?
To activate your T-mobilitat card, you need an activation PIN code. This PIN code is required whenever you want to activate a T-mobilitat card at a metro vending machine.
If you use the TMB App and we have confirmed that the support you want to activate belongs to you or to a T-mobilitat user in your charge, you will not need the activation PIN code.
Follow the steps below to acquire your PIN code.
Acquiring your PIN code on TMB Tickets
Log in to TMB Tickets and follow the steps below:
- Select the ‘T-mobilitat supports’ option from your personal menu.
- Click on the card activation button.
- Check the PIN that appears on the screen. You can also select the option to have it sent to your personal email address.
How can I activate my T-mobilitat card?
There are two ways to activate your T-mobility card: on the TMB App or at a vending machine on the metro network.

Activating your card at a ticket vending machine
When you arrive at the vending machine, follow these steps:
- Hold your card up to the card reader.
- Enter the PIN code that you have previously acquired from your personal TMB Tickets area.
- Hold the card up to the card reader again to activate it.
- Your card is now activated. If you have not yet loaded a travel ticket, you will need to do so in order to travel.

Need to activate someone else’s T-mobilitat card?
You can activate someone else’s card easily with the TMB App.
If you are not the card owner and the card does not belong to someone in your charge, you will need to acquire a PIN code to activate it. If it belongs to a T-mobilitat user in your charge, you will not need a PIN code.
If you want to activate the support at a vending machine, you will always need the activation PIN code.
