Most banks issue ready-made credit and debit cards upon personal contact of the client to the branch where the application for the manufacture of this product was accepted. But there are also those where cards are sent by mail by default or at the request of the client.
It is necessary
- - mailing address;
- - passport, if the card was sent by registered mail.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way is if the card is sent to your address by regular mail. In this case, you just have to wait for it. The term for producing a card usually takes about a week; on average, it takes about the same amount for its delivery by mail within the same city or neighboring regions. In case of a delay, it will not be superfluous to call the bank and inquire about the fate of your credit card. If it is lost somewhere in the post office, the bank will send you a new one. Provided that you have a post office box, you can use it for correspondence with the bank, including sending a card. But don't forget to check it out.
Step 2
Wait for notification if the bank prefers registered letters. They usually do not indicate who exactly the letter is addressed to you. However, you can try to find out using the postage tracking service, available via the link from the main page of the postage.ru website. To do this, enter the postal identifier in the search form - the numbers indicated in your notice. The sender's data may not be visible in the search results, but often it can be calculated by the post office number. If it is located not far from the bank's head office (the address can be found by the number, and the location, for example, in Yandex Maps), then this is most likely your card.
Step 3
Fill out the notice: on its back you need to indicate the data of your passport (number, series, by whom and when issued) and, if the letter is not sent to the address of your registration at the place of residence, registration data. With the notice and passport, visit the post office and give them to his employee. He will give you a certified letter.
Step 4
If the card needs to be activated and you have not received instructions for this directly at the bank branch, they must be enclosed in an envelope along with the card. In some cases, a separate envelope with a PIN code is also inserted, in others you have to come up with it yourself when activating through the ATM of the credit institution that issued the card or by phone.
