When you apply for the Deutschland-Ticket in the ABO customer portal (and you already have an account in the VVW app) you will have to create a new customer account there once with the same email address. Our ABO customer portal is currently optimized for use with a computer - of course you can also order the trainee ticket with a smartphone/tablet. If there are problems with the registration or the redirection to the registration process does not work, it could be because the file size of the uploaded credential is too large. Please reduce the file size to a maximum of 1.5 MB. Then it should work. If it still doesn't work, we recommend the following alternatives:
- use a desktop PC/laptop and place the order in the ABO customer portal or
- send us the attached order form completely filled out. Please note that we require proof for the authorization check (e.g. proof of authorization (see downloads) or the information letter from Deutsche Bahn).
