Whether an ID card is required for credit card activation requires confirmation whether the credit card is applied online or directly at the bank counter. If the credit card applied for online needs to be activated at the counter, in this case the original ID card is required. Because you have to go to the counter to hand in the confirmation letter, which requires a signature. If you apply for a credit card directly at a bank, you don’t need to go to the counter to activate it, because it has been confirmed that you applied for it in person.
