Tap Smart: Prevent Card Confusion

Recent updates to ID cards issued by Security mean it may be possible to register these on:
- Tap-and-Go printers
- Smartcard “soap dish” readers
- Locker access points
To avoid future issues, please ensure that you only use your NHS Smartcard for these services.
We recommend removing your Smartcard from a double-sided card holder, before tapping your card.
👉 Don’t forget to take your Smartcard with you after use.
