The invention relates to a method for producing portable data carriers (), wherein first there are provided a module carrier band (), on which are arranged chip modules () with contact surfaces () arranged on one side of the module carrier band (), and at least one substrate foil (), respectively as rolled goods. The module carrier band () and the at least one substrate foil () are unrolled from the respective roll () and continuously brought together. Then, the module carrier band () is permanently connected with the at least one substrate foil () in such a way that the contact surfaces () of the chip modules () point outward. From the composite () there can be detached in particular portable data carriers in the format ID-000 () or mini-UICC ().

Method for producing portable data carriers

In a method and an apparatus for personalizing card-shaped data carriers (), for example chip cards in the formats ID000 to ID3 or other suitable formats, a card-shaped data carrier () to be personalized is transported by means of a transport device within the apparatus. During the transport motion, personalization data are transferred to an electronic storage device () of the card-shaped data carrier () by means of a personalization device (). The transporting of the card-shaped data carrier () is effected by means of a band-shaped or tubular carrier () on which a multiplicity of card-shaped data carriers () to be personalized are arranged one behind the other in the transport direction.
