Other problems might be configuration or temporary server issues. If you see an error code, ensure you have no IDs added on other devices, and try again. If you continue to see issues, contact your Card Office who will be able to retire old IDs or resolve any configuration issues with your account.

Why don't I see the "Add to Wallet" button?
