How do I get my pass number ?


Hi, I need a cover number so I can make train reservations. Can it start by IN and be followed by 8 digit numbers ? That’s what I received in a mail from interrail just after I paid for my interrail. But ot doesnt satisfy Deutsche Bahn...

DB (bahn.com) don't need any pass number to make reservations.

The pass number of a mobile pass consists of 6 alphanumeric characters and is in the confirmation mail.

The pass cover number of a paper pass consists of a capital letter i and 8 digits. It’s on the cover of the pass.

The number starting with IN is your order number.

I got tickets with an activation code, and without a pass number. Insane!

That must be something very recent then.


Yes, today.

I think someone used the wrong template to generate the PDF, as in the 2 pages with explanation, a pass number is used to get the pass in the app.
And the surname and ID-number are needed to activate.
They should get their act together!
Look through the eyes of their customers!

(They also use interrail.com AND eurrail.com, nice for password managers)
