Is the expiry date mentioned on my City Pass correct?
No, a City Pass has no expiry date. The expiry date mentioned on City Passes from 2013 and earlier is no longer valid. Have you thrown away your City Pass? Apply for a new one.
Can I get a temporary pass for the underground containers?
Yes, certainly, if you have a house in Eindhoven for less than 4 months and you are not registered here. Such a pass is not issued automatically, you must apply to Cure for it.
To do so, you will need:
- A letter or e-mail from the owner of the house, stating that he pays, or is willing to pay, waste collection charges.
- The number of people living in the house.
- The date they moved into the house.
Once you have gathered all the requirements together, you can phone Cure on 14 040, and choose the option ‘waste’.
The temporary pass is not valid for use at the waste recycling point.
My City Pass hasn't arrived. What should I do?
What you should do, in the event you haven't received a City Pass, depends on the circumstances:
I'm new to Eindhoven (birth or new resident)
Has it been more than 10 days since you notified the Municipality of Eindhoven of the birth or relocation to the city, and you still haven't received your pass? Please phone us at 14 040 or get in touch through the contact form. We will check the information and make sure that a City Pass is sent to your home address.
I lived in Eindhoven previously
Then you won't be issued a new City Pass. You can still use the old one. You no longer have the old pass? Apply for a new one. Have you lived in Eindhoven for longer than one month and a City Pass has been processed in our systems? In this situation too, apply for a new one.
I've ordered a replacement City Pass
Have you applied, and paid, for a new City Pass but not received it? Please notify us by e-mail within 1 month and we will send you a new pass free of charge. Send the e-mail to gemeente@eindhoven.nl. Give your name, your address and attach proof of payment of the City Pass.
My City Pass isn't working. What should I do?
If your City Pass isn't working for one of the products you have loaded, get in touch with the supplier (Ir. Ottenbad, Tongelreep, Stadsparkeren, Lock 'n Go or Cure). They will be able to solve the problem, generally by reactivating your pass for that particular product. If, after that, your pass still doesn't work, it's probably defect. In that case, apply for a new one.
