POST/cards Creates a card. Create the user and card product before you create the card. You create a card using the `user_token` of the user who will own the card and the `card_product_token` of the card product that will control the card. > [!TIP] > > **Tip**\ > By default, newly created cards are inactive and must be explicitly activated (see [Create Card Transition](https://www.marqeta.com/docs/core-api/card-transitions/create-card-transition.md) for information on activating cards). To create cards that are activated upon issue, configure your card product's `config.card_life_cycle.activate_upon_issue` field (see [Card Products](https://www.marqeta.com/docs/core-api/card-products/)). Send a `POST` request to `/pins/controltoken` to set the card's personal identification number (PIN) if your program requires PIN numbers (for example, for Europay Mastercard and Visa cards); this action updates the `pin_is_set` field to `true`. See [Create or Update PIN](https://www.marqeta.com/docs/core-api/pins/create-update.md) for details. You can use optional query parameters to show the primary account number (PAN) and card verification value (CVV2) number in the response. If `show_pan` and `show_cvv_number` are set to `true`, the fulfillment state of the card is `DIGITALLY_PRESENTED` instead of the typical initial state of `ISSUED`. This fulfillment state does not affect the delivery of physical cards. This endpoint requires PCI DSS compliance if `show_pan` and `show_cvv_number` are set to `true`. You must comply with PCI DSS data security requirements if you store, transmit, or process sensitive card data. ## URL query parameters | Fields | Description | | - | - | | show\_cvv\_number boolean Optional | Set to `true` to show the CVV2 number in the response. **Allowable Values:** `true`, `false` | | show\_pan boolean Optional | Set to `true` to show the full primary account number (PAN) in the response. **Allowable Values:** `true`, `false` | ## Request body | Fields | Description | | - | - | | activation\_actions object Optional | Defines actions to execute when the card is activated.

For example, if the issue date is 1 Jan 2021 and `value = 1`, the cards expire on the last day of Jan 2022. - **MONTHS** – Rounds up to the last second of the last day of the month of expiration. For example, if the issue date is 1 May 2022 and `value = 1`, the cards expire on the last day of June 2022. - **DAYS** – Rounds up to the last second of the day of expiration. - **HOURS**,

This field reissues a card by copying the primary account number (PAN) and personal identification number (PIN) from the specified source card to the newly created card. The reissued card has the same PAN and PIN as the source card but a new expiration date and CVV2 number. If you would like to reissue a card with a new PAN, set `generate_new_pan` to `true`. Send a `GET` request to `/cards/user/{token}` to retrieve card tokens for a particular user. **NOTE:** By default, the source card is automatically terminated when the reissued card is activated. However, if your program is configured for multiple active cards, you can prevent the source card from being automatically terminated by setting the `activation_actions.terminate_reissued_source_card` field to `false`. **Allowable Values:** 36 char max Existing card token | | new\_pan\_from\_card\_token string Optional | Reissues the specified card (known as the "source" card) with a new primary account number (PAN).

Send a `GET` request to `/cards/user/{token}` to retrieve card tokens for a particular user. **Allowable Values:** 36 char max Existing card token | | token string Optional | Unique identifier of the card. If you do not include a token, the system will generate one automatically. Other API calls will require this token, so we recommend creating a token that is easy to remember rather than letting the system generate one. This value cannot be updated. **Allowable Values:** 1–36 chars | | translate\_pin\_from\_card\_token string Optional | Copies the PIN from the specified card to the newly created card. Both cards must belong to the same user. Populating this field will raise an error during any card re-issuance flow, i.e. if either `reissue_pan_from_card_token` or `new_pan_from_card_token` is set. To copy a PIN when reissuing a card, use `copy_pin_from_source_card` instead. Send a `GET` request to `/cards/user/{token}` to retrieve card tokens for a particular user. **Allowable Values:** 36 char max Existing card token | | copy\_pin\_from\_source\_card boolean Optional | Copies the PIN from the source card to the newly reissued card. If the source card does not have a PIN, the request is processed and the new card is created without a PIN and the `pin_is_set` field is set to `false`. The reissued card is created without a PIN, regardless whether the source card has one, if `copy_pin_from_source_card` is set to `false` in the card reissue request. This field can only be used with `reissue_pan_from_card_token` or `new_pan_from_card_token` fields. An error is raised if the `translate_pin_from_card_token` field is used in the request. This field is not returned in the response. **Allowable Values:** `true`, `false` **Default value:** `true` | | user\_token string Required | Unique identifier of the authorized user of the card. Send a `GET` request to `/users` to retrieve user tokens. **Allowable Values:** 1–36 chars Existing user token | ## Sample request body ```json JSON expandable lines wrap theme={null} { "token": "my_test_card_01", "user_token": "my_user_01", "fulfillment": { "card_personalization": { "text": { "name_line_1": { "value": "Jane Doe" }, "name_line_2": { "value": "My card personalization line 2" } }, "images": { "card": { "name": "my_card_logo.png", "thermal_color": "Black" }, "signature": { "name": "my_signature.png" }, "carrier_return_window": { "name": "my_return_address_image.png" } } } }, "card_product_token": "my_cardproduct_01", "metadata": { "my_name_1": "my_value_1", "my_name_2": "my_value_2" } } ``` ## Response body | Fields | Description | | - | - | | activation\_actions object Conditionally returned | Defines actions to execute when the card is activated.

Not relevant when `reissue_pan_from_card_token` is set. Send a `GET` request to `/cards/user/{token}` to retrieve card tokens for a particular user. **Allowable Values:** 1–36 chars Existing card token | | activation\_actions.**terminate\_reissued\_source\_card** boolean Conditionally returned | If you are reissuing a card, the source card is terminated by default. To prevent the source card from being terminated, set this field to `false`. Only relevant when `reissue_pan_from_card_token` is set. **Allowable Values:** `true`, `false` **Default value:** `true` | | barcode string Returned | Barcode printed on the card, expressed as numerals. **Allowable Values:** 10-20 chars | | bulk\_issuance\_token string Conditionally returned | Unique identifier of the bulk card order. **Allowable Values:** 1-36 chars | | card\_product\_token string Returned | Unique identifier of the card product. **Allowable Values:** 1-36 chars | | chip\_cvv\_number string Conditionally returned | Three-digit card verification value (ICVV) stored on the chip of the card. **Allowable Values:** 3 chars | | contactless\_exemption\_counter integer Conditionally returned | Running count of the contactless transactions successfully completed since the last strong customer authentication (SCA) challenge was issued.
