What is a valid school certificate?
This certificate must contain the same data as your subscription (first and last name, date of birth, school period and train station corresponding to your school or traineeship) and must be signed by your school.
The following documents are accepted:
- A proof of enrolment form, completed and signed by your school
- Certificate from your school proving that you are attending that school or place of traineeship during the validity of your subscription
- Certificate of enrolment (after payment of the enrolment fee) is valid as a school certificate
The following documents are not accepted:
- School certificate from a school far from one of the train stations of your subscription
- School certificate whose dates of attendance do not correspond to the dates of validity of your subscription
- pre-registration form with payment slip
- Student card
If the proof of enrolment is invalid, you will be informed by email. We will cancel your validation and your season ticket will be deleted from your MoBIB card. You will be refunded the full amount if the validation period has not yet begun. If the validation period has already begun, a €10 administration fee will be retained.
How to obtain a valid school certificate?
There are 2 possibilities:
- You can ask your school’s administration to fill in our template of proof of enrolment
- Your school provides you directly with a valid certificate that corresponds to your subscription (first and last name, address, date of birth and school period for which you are registered)
