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.

The Lisboa VIVA/ Navegante card has a warranty period of 2 years (in the case of cards issued before January 1, 2022) or 3 years (in the case of cards issued after January 1, 2022).

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:

• If you do not have a balance, you must charge the card.
• If the card is properly loaded but cannot read it, you should go to the CARRIS Shop, presenting the card and the corresponding proof of loading.

These cards are replaced according to the following rules:

• The card shall be replaced only on the operator where the card was loaded.
• If the card has been loaded into an ATM machine the replacement is done in a CARRIS Shop or in a Customer Service Office of any of the operators appearing in the loaded title;
• If the card is damaged, that is, without any visible damage, and within the warranty period, the replacement is free of charge; if the card is damaged, or after the expiration date, the cost is borne by the customer.
• If the damaged card has any valid title loaded, it can be transferred to a replacement tab, and then transferred back to the new card that the customer requests.

During the period during which the card is in production, in order to continue to use the transports, a provisional card called the Replacement Guide shall be delivered upon delivery of the order for duplicate cardboard, valid for the same period as the security loaded on the card which has ceased to function. This process is possible, in CARRIS Stores, whatever the place of purchase of the title or, in the network of CARRIS Kiosks, for securities acquired only in CARRIS.
