Do I need to activate my Swiss Travel Pass purchased from SBB?
Bheemesh is preparing for a trip to Switzerland and wants to know if he needs to activate his Swiss Travel Pass after purchasing it online. He’s unsure if carrying the PDF and his ID will suffice. Fortunately, he learns that no activation is required and that he just needs to have his documents ready.
- Your Swiss Travel Pass is ready to use from the start date you selected during the purchase, so no activation is needed.
- It’s advisable to print out a copy of the PDF for backup, in case your phone fails or runs out of battery.
- Always carry a valid form of ID, like a passport or ID card, as copies are not accepted.

Hello,
After buying STP from SBB portal, do we still need to activate STP after arriving in Switzerland? Or carrying the PDF shared to our email and our Photo identity card should be enough?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Bheemesh,
With your Swiss Travel Pass, it is ready for use per the start date you inserted when you purchased it. No activation required.
Further information on how to use the Swiss Travel Pass can be found in the link below. Scroll to “How does the Swiss Travel Pass work?”
Some travellers like to also have a print out copy of the pdf as a back up, incase their phone is not working or battery is low. A form of identification is required when asked by a ticket inspector. Copies are not allowed, so have your passport or ID card with you.
Have a great trip.
Kind regards,
Yolanda
