Validation
The validation at a validation terminal is

After enrolment for the next semester, students will receive by post a set of matriculation confirmations, one of which can be used as substitute for validation.
In special cases, if you need a validated card, but you cannot validate it yourself, please contact your card issuing office (see the sender on the covering letter with which the card was sent).
