Information about having tickets reissued

The reissue of tickets implies a change in the train category, time and/or date.

Journeys can be altered to a different day or a different train at any CP station or online, in “Your Tickets” area, if you bought your tickets from the Online Ticket Office or App CP.

You can only change the ticket once per journey (keeping the same origin and destination):

• without paying any reissue fee – can be requested from any station or from “Your Tickets” area (for tickets bought through the Online Ticket office and CP App) up to 30 minutes before the train starts its journey;
• if you pay a reissue fee (€4.00) – between 29 minutes before the train starts its journey and 2 hours after, the reissue can only be asked at the station that sold the ticket*, at the station where you are start your journey or from “Your Tickets” area (for tickets bought through the Online Ticket office and CP App).

* When the station that issued the ticket and the destination station are the same, reissue requests will only be accepted if the train has not yet arrived at its destination.

Reissue from the online ticket office up to 30 minutes after the transaction: in the 30 minutes after the transaction (if there are more than 30 minutes before the train starts its journey) passengers can alter the entire journey online, through “Your Tickets” area.

The reissue of tickets paid with a bank card is made upon presenting the card used in the purchase. This operation is not possible without presenting the card.

If the reissued ticket is not the same price as the original one, the difference is given back or charged by CP at the ticket offices except in the following case:

• tickets issued through travel agents, if there is any amount to be given back, this is done through the agency that issued the ticket.

If you want to reissue your ticket at a CP ticket office or Travel Agency you need the printed ticket and an ID card. Digital tickets and SMS are not accepted.  

Reissue of a ticket may be done up to 60 days after the travel date indicated on the original ticket, subject to the availability of the intended train.
