There are two types of Opencard depending on the type of the chip used:
OPENCARD
Contains only one contactless chip
This is a standard version of Opencard.
It can be used for all services that are part of the Opencard project:

The card will be issued approximately 7 to 14 days after the submission of the application.

The card can be used for all Opencard programme services:
- Parking fee payments,
