# Activate Your Card
After receiving your card, you must activate it before use.
1. Go to the "My Cards" tab and click "Activate Card" under the card.
2. Upload a selfie with your passport and the card.
3. Input the 16-digit card number.
4. Activation typically takes 24-48 hours on working days. Once your card is activated, you will receive a bonus of $10 on your card.
**⚠️ Important Note:**
* **Troubleshooting:** If you encounter any errors or a frozen page, re-upload a different selfie file after 5-10 minutes. If the issue persists, contact support.
