Lisboa VIVA/ Navegante cards can be requested on CARRIS Shops and Kiosks or any Lisbon Region Transport Operator or online, on the VIVA website.

The Lisboa VIVA/ Navegante card is valid until the end of the period indicated on the card itself.



The Lisboa VIVA/ Navegante card has different validity periods, varying between 4 and 6.5 years after the issue, according to the type of customer/card profile.




In the case of cards associated with mode 4-18 and Sub23 the expiry date of the card depends on the age of the Customer. The validity will be between 4 years (minimum) and the date when the Customer reaches 19 or 24 years, respectively. If the Customer, at the time of asking for the card, is less than 4 years of the maximum age for the profile, then the card will be valid for less than 4 years.




The card must be renewed before the expiry of the validity period and the holder must request the issue of a new card in advance.

Lisboa VIVA/ Navegante cards are guaranteed for 2 years from the date of issue.

If a card stops working during this period and has no visible damage, it will be exchanged free of charge.

After this period, or if the card has been damaged by the passenger, they will have to pay for the new card.

If your card stops working:

• Check it using the validation machine or at one of the places on the Sales network. If the card has no available balance, load/top up the card.
• If the card has been loaded/topped up, has an available balance or cannot be read, go to a CARRIS Shop and hand in the card and proof of loading/topping up.

These cards are replaced according to the following rules:

• Cards are only replaced by the operator where they were loaded.
• If the card was loaded at a Multibanco cashpoint, the replacement will be made at the customer support office of any of the operators covered by the card;
• If the card is not working, has no visible damage and is still in the guarantee period, the replacement is free. If the card is damaged or the guarantee period has expired, the cardholder pays for the new card.

In order to continue to be able to use the transport while the card is being produced, when the request for another card has been handed in, a temporary card is provided, called a Temporary Replacement card. This card will be valid for the same period as the card that stopped working.
