ABSTRACT:
In an apparatus and a method for handling cards, wherein the cards comprise a memory element that may be read out in a contactless manner via a transponder, and pass through a plurality of handling stations, a card and a card carrier are initially brought together and joined. Subsequently, the card carrier is enveloped. Then a reading operation with regard to the card carrier which has been enveloped is performed so as to determine, on the basis of a signal received from the card carrier enveloped, whether a card is contained in the envelope.
