Does a Rail Industry Worker card expire?
Yes.
Rail Industry Worker (RIW) cards have a lifespan of 5 years. RIW cards are a smart card, which means they incorporate a chip which holds information to allow the card to be read offline with certain devices. To ensure the integrity of the chip, the card must be replaced every 5 years.
The RIW System will display a prompt to order a new RIW card during subscription renewal if current card is expiring within 12 months of annual subscription expiry date. The major subscription renewal fee will incorporate the annual cardholder subscription plus the issue of the new card fee.
For more information, please refer to our article What is the RIW Pricing Model?

Send feedbackWhere will a Rail Industry Worker card be sent?
The address for delivery of a cardholder's RIW card is nominated by Primary Employer when the card is requested.
The card can be sent to either the company's delivery or postal address (as per the company's registration details in the RIW database), or to the cardholder's home or delivery address.
If an RIW card is sent to the wrong address, the card will generally be marked as Return To Sender and will be received by RIW Program Support.
The RIW Service Desk will be in contact with the cardholder when it is received to confirm the correct delivery address.
Primary Employers can check which address the cards was sent to by running the Card Application Progress Report as detailed in our RIW Knowledge Centre article What is the Card Application Progress Report?. Alternatively, the Primary Employer can find this information on the cardholders RIW profile under the Cards menu.

Send feedbackWhat is a virtual RIW card?
A virtual RIW card is an electronic version of the physical RIW card. The virtual card can be downloaded onto a mobile device such as a smart phone by using the Vircarda App. The Vircarda App generates a unique QR code to be used to swipe in/out of a site, the same way a physical card can be used. However, every time the QR code is scanned, the Vircarda App generates a new QR code to prevent fraud.
For more information about virtual cards and the Vircarda App, please refer to the article How does a cardholder install the Vircarda App to manage their virtual RIW card?
Primary Employers can issue a virtual RIW card to their employees by following the directions in our article How does a company order or reorder a physical or virtual RIW card?

Send feedbackWhat happens if a cardholder hasn't received their RIW card?
Cardholders can contact their Primary Employer to follow up the status of the physical RIW card.
The cardholder's Primary Employer can view the card status and delivery address by viewing the cardholder's RIW profile via the Cards tab. If the card was sent to an incorrect address, the card may be returned to the RIW Service Desk.
If the card is returned, the RIW Service Desk will endeavour to contact the cardholder in the first instance via email or phone. If no response is received, then the RIW Service Desk may contact the Employer. In the event a new address is obtained, the RIW card will be resent to the updated address.
In the meantime, the cardholder can use their virtual RIW card to access site.
