The government of the Russian Federation has created various ways to help groups of the population in need of benefits. One of these forms is various social cards. But before you can start using them for their intended purpose, the cards must be activated. How can this be done?

social card
Instructions
Step 1
Determine what type your social card is. They are available in various types: for students, schoolchildren, as well as for retirees and disabled people. The rules for activating a travel document depend on this.
Step 2
The ability to start using the card depends on the city in which you received it. For example, Moscow students and schoolchildren can activate their card at the box office at any metro station. But if they also want to use ground transport, for this they need to find a Mosgortrans kiosk. It is usually located at a trolleybus or bus stop. Insert your card into the card reader of the device and select the menu item corresponding to the activation. After that, you can put money on the card and use it to pay for travel.
Step 3
People who received a card in Novosibirsk should act differently. The student's and schoolchild's card must be activated not once, but every six months. This can be done only through a special Kvartoplat kiosk located at ground transport stops and metro stations. To do this, insert the card into the device, select the "Top up card" item in the menu and deposit at least fifty rubles into the account. The card will then become active and ready to be used as a travel document. The dates of the need to activate the card are usually announced one month in advance through announcements in the metro and on buses.
Pensioners and disabled people of Novosibirsk can also activate their cards by contacting the department of social protection of the population at the place of residence.
Step 4
Chelyabinsk has its own procedure - cards are issued to beneficiaries in social protection who are already activated and ready to work.
If you live in another city, then you may also have your own card activation system. To understand what needs to be done in your situation, contact the organization that issued the card to you. They will tell you how to start using it.
