Validate your pass on or before your first day of use, and within 6 months from date of issue. To validate, present your passport and your pass to a railway official at the ticket window in the train station (not the conductor) before boarding a train, bus, boat, plane or renting a car for the first time.
The railway official will enter the first and last date of your travel period. Do not write on or fill in any part of your pass before it has been validated. All services (rail, rental car, air travel and travel bonuses) must be used within the time period validated on the railpass.
