Abstract
In a method and an apparatus for providing a card carrier for bringing it together with a card, the card is initially provided, and card data are acquired from it. On the basis of this card data, a card-carrier blank having a first identification mark is provided. On the basis of the card data, predetermined data and a second identification mark associated with the predetermined data are printed onto the card-carrier blank so as to form the card carrier. Subsequently, the first and the second identification marks are acquired by the card carrier to determine whether the data applied and the blank belong together. If it is determined that the data and the card-carrier blank belong together, the card carrier is provided for bringing it together with the card.
