Questions and answers
-
An identity card contains your name, address and zones and an accurate photo.
Before you show up at your place of duty for the first time, you need to get an identity card if you want to travel for free by public transport between your home and your place of duty.
The identity card is free, and you can get it in 7-Eleven at a train station. Remember to bring a passport photo.
-
The passport photo must be 25-35 x 35 mm. Your face must take up two thirds of the photo and should be clear and recognisable.

-
The insert card is a replaceable insert containing the number of zones and period of validity. You will get the insert card at your place of duty.

No, cards and tickets for conscripts are only valid for Standard. If you want to travel on DSB 1', you can buy a DSB 1' add-on and a seat reservation in 7-Eleven at the stations.
-
If you are travelling by InterCity, InterCityLyn or Lyn+ between the regions, seats are in great demand on popular departures, so it might be a good idea to buy seat reservation. You can do so already two months before departure – and until departure.
You can buy your seat reservation in the ticket machines at the stations or in the DSB's app.
-
As a conscript, you can travel for free on the Øresundstog to/from Kastrup but not to/from Sweden.
Always plan ahead and ask at your place of duty if you have any doubts as to where your card or ticket is valid.
-
As a conscript, you can travel for free on the bus lines operated by the regional transport companies: Movia, Fynbus, Sydtrafik, Midttrafik, NT and BAT.
The card is also valid for Thinggaard Express (route 980), Abildskou/Flixbus (route 888), Gråhundbussen (route 866) and on the bus between Nykøbing Falster and Odense (route 800).
-
You probably can, but ask at your place of duty whether they will refund your journey. You will have to buy the ticket yourself and then you can get a refund at your place of duty.
You can buy tickets for the ferry at Beredskabsstyrelsen Bornholm (Danish Emergency Management Agency Bornholm) or at Garderhusarregimet Almegårds Kaserne (Guard Hussar Regiment Almegårds Kaserne). If you live on Bornholm but serve as a conscript elsewhere in the country, you need to buy your ferry ticket from Bornholmslinjen.
-
No. Even though you have a certificate from your place of duty confirming that you have lost your card, you cannot use the certificate as ticket.
If you have lost your card, you have to contact the issuing authority at your place of duty. Please note that it will take 10 days for a new card to be issued. During this period, you will have to pay the normal fare, and unfortunately the tickets are non-refundable.
-
Yes, you always have to present ID with your card when you travel for free as a conscript – also if you travel in your uniform. However, the first month after your call-up, you can use the card without presenting ID. If, after the first month, you have forgotten your ID, you will get a penalty fare.
-
If you are travelling by some means of transport for which your card is not valid, e.g. a bus or ferry close to your home/place of duty, you have to buy a standard ticket or Rejsekort.
If you have forgotten or lost your card, you have to buy a ticket, just like all other passengers, before you get on the train. If you travel without a valid ticket, you will get a penalty fare.
-
Never make corrections on your card or ticket. This is forgery and is a punishable offence. It is also a punishable offence to let other people use the card or tickets. Both offences will be reported to the police.
Invalid cards will be confiscated immediately and you will have to pay the penalty fare.
The invalid card will be sent to your place of duty, and during the time until a new card can be issued, you will have to pay for your own tickets.
