Virtual and smart cards – Resources
All new EUSR registrations are now issued with a virtual card. As with the previous plastic card, the new virtual card is a record of the active EUSR registrations held by an individual.
Individuals now download an app called Vircarda to their smartphone or tablet which displays a digital EUSR card. This digital card can be scanned by a checking app on site which allows the card to be read without any manual input. An individual’s details can also still be checked by entering them on the EUSR register search, available 24/7, on our website.
If individuals still want or need a plastic card, they can request a plastic smart card (which contains a chip that is readable by a checking app) for a small additional fee of £2 plus VAT.
