The answer to your question...

Lost or stolen OV-chipkaart with a season ticket

Has your OV-chipkaart been lost or stolen? If so, you can request a new card via OV-chipkaart.nl. While you're waiting for your new card, you can continue travelling with a Temporary ticket.

Lost or stolen OV-chipkaart without a season ticket

If your personal OV-chipkaart is lost or stolen, then you should have it blocked. Apply for a new personal or anonymous card afterward.

Refunds for loss or theft

If your personal OV-chipkaart or NS-Business Card with a season ticket is lost or stolen, it is important for you to block the card as quickly as possible to prevent unauthorised use of the card. You can then request a new replacement card. If you need your season ticket, but your replacement card has not yet arrived, you can request a temporary ticked through NS Customer Service. Temporary tickets are not available with the NS-Business Card. For what to do in that case, read the information at the bottom of the page.
