Does the MVGO Deutschlandticket auto-update each month in Wallet?

No. MVG states explicitly that the ticket must be downloaded monthly in MVGO and added to Wallet manually. There is no automatic update inside the Wallet app, so the export step has to be repeated at the start of each month.

Which MVG app puts the Deutschlandticket into Apple Wallet?

MVGO. It is the official ticketing and mobility app from SWM Services GmbH for Munich and the MVV region. The classic MVG Fahrinfo app focuses on routing and timetables and does not contain the same Apple Wallet flow for the Deutschlandticket.

Will the MVGO Wallet ticket be accepted outside of Munich?

Yes. The Deutschlandticket is a federal nationwide ticket for regional and local public transport. An MVGO-issued pass is valid on Berlin BVG, Hamburg HVV, regional trains across Germany, and local buses everywhere. The barcode follows the federal VDV-KA standard.

What does the Deutschlandticket cost via MVGO in 2026?

Since January 1, 2026, the Deutschlandticket costs 63 euros per month, regardless of which Verkehrsverbund issues it. MVGO bills the subscription monthly, and the Wallet pass has to be re-exported each month after the new ticket is downloaded.

Does the MVGO Wallet pass scan in the U-Bahn without signal?

Yes. Once the pass is in Apple Wallet, the barcode is rendered locally on the iPhone. No mobile signal is needed for an inspector scan in the Munich U-Bahn or on a regional train through dead spots. The validity is checked against the dates baked into the pass at export time.

Q: Can I add the MVGO Deutschlandticket to Apple Wallet?

Yes. MVG supports adding eligible HandyTicket subscriptions to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, including Deutschlandticket variants, 365-Euro-Ticket MVV, and MVV Abo. The ticket still has to be downloaded again monthly in MVGO and added to Wallet manually.

MVGO is the official mobility and ticketing app from Munich's transit authority (MVG) and ships the Deutschlandticket into Apple Wallet with a single tap. The catch: MVG states that the pass has to be downloaded monthly in MVGO and added to Wallet manually. There is no auto-update.

Here is how the Deutschlandticket from MVGO flows into Apple Wallet in 2026, what the monthly routine actually looks like in Munich, and where NeatPass fills the gaps.

Which Munich App Exports the Deutschlandticket to Wallet

MVG splits its features across two apps. Only one of them has the documented Apple Wallet button on the Deutschlandticket.

MVGO (SWM Services GmbH)

The mobility app for Munich and the MVV region. Sells single tickets, day passes, subscriptions, and the Deutschlandticket. The Apple Wallet button sits under My Tickets in the ticket options.

MVG Fahrinfo

The classic routing and timetable app. Focused on connections and live data. The Wallet flow for the Deutschlandticket belongs to MVGO.

Sharing built into MVGO

MVGO also bundles e-scooters (Voi, Dott), e-bikes (Dott), carsharing (MILES, Free2move, SIXT, STATTAUTO), and taxi. Sharing bookings stay in the app, the Wallet button is for the Deutschlandticket only.

Pick MVGO for the Wallet flow

The Deutschlandticket Wallet pass comes out of MVGO. MVG Fahrinfo is the other official app, but the Wallet button for the Deutschlandticket does not live there.

Setting Up the Deutschlandticket in MVGO

The Deutschlandticket subscription is ordered inside MVGO under Abos, paid by SEPA direct debit or credit card, and tied to the M-Login account. Once the ticket appears under My Tickets, the Apple Wallet button becomes available.

MVG documents the flow in a dedicated step-by-step guide. Eligible HandyTicket subscriptions can be stored in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, including Deutschlandticket variants, 365-Euro-Ticket MVV, and MVV Abo.

Adding the MVGO Deutschlandticket to Wallet

Open MVGO and pick the Deutschlandticket

Launch MVGO and open the active Deutschlandticket under My Tickets. After a fresh order, it can take a moment for the ticket to appear in the account.

Tap ticket options in the ticket layout

On the Deutschlandticket detail view, the info or options icon sits in the top-left corner. Tap it to open the options menu.

Choose Add to Apple Wallet

From the menu that appears, tap the Add to Apple Wallet button. iOS loads the pass preview directly.

Tap Add in Wallet

The Wallet app shows the preview with validity period, name, and barcode. Tap Add in the top-right and the pass lands in the collection.

Repeat at the start of each new month

The new month's ticket has to be downloaded in MVGO first, then exported to Wallet again. Delete the old pass from Wallet so two versions are not sitting next to each other.

Selected subscriptions, not every ticket

MVG's Wallet function covers selected HandyTicket subscriptions in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet: Deutschlandticket variants, 365-Euro-Ticket MVV, and MVV Abo. Single tickets, day tickets, stripe tickets, and Bayern-wide one-off tickets are still app-only unless MVG separately adds support.

Monthly Refresh in Wallet, the Munich Way

MVG does not push monthly Wallet updates. The official help text states clearly that the ticket has to be downloaded monthly in MVGO and added to the Wallet app manually. There is no automatic update inside the Wallet app.

This is different from providers that support PassKit push updates. Deutschlandticket-App/HanseCom Wallet support depends on the participating contract partner behind the subscription. With MVGO, the manual rhythm is the trade-off for buying the ticket directly through Munich's transit authority.

No automatic update on the MVGO Wallet pass

Inspectors scan the barcode and check validity dates. An old pass from the previous month looks like an expired ticket. Open MVGO before the first ride of the new month, re-export to Wallet, and delete the old pass.

Where the MVGO Deutschlandticket Is Valid

The Deutschlandticket is a nationwide ticket for regional and local public transport. A ticket issued through MVGO is valid in every German Verkehrsverbund: U-Bahn, S-Bahn, and tram in Munich (MVV), BVG in Berlin, HVV in Hamburg, VRR in the Rhine-Ruhr region, regional trains across the country, and local buses everywhere.

Long-distance ICE, IC, EC, and Flixtrain are excluded. Premium classes on regional trains are also out. The pass covers the standard fare on every regional and local connection that accepts the Deutschlandticket nationally.

Where NeatPass Helps Around the MVGO Pass

NeatPass creates Apple Wallet passes from supported barcodes. The official MVGO Wallet export is the cleanest way to get the Deutschlandticket itself into Wallet. NeatPass covers the cases around it: a backup tile for the current month, MVV tickets without an MVGO Wallet button, and print-at-home tickets from other sources.

Where NeatPass fits

Backup tile for the current month: If MVGO misbehaves at the platform or refuses to load, a NeatPass tile built from a screenshot of this month's barcode is a useful safety net, and the barcode keeps working without signal
Munich tickets without an official Wallet export: Day tickets, leftover strip tickets, or Bayern-wide tickets from the MVV area can be turned into a Wallet pass from a PDF or screenshot, instead of opening MVGO every time
Custom design: A bright MVG-blue tile or a colour matching the rider's regular U-Bahn line, useful when the pass sits next to a dozen other cards in Wallet

Where it does not help

Auto-pushing the new month: Only MVG or the issuing Wallet provider holds the credentials for a PassKit push. Deutschlandticket-App/HanseCom support depends on the participating contract partner. NeatPass cannot inject the May barcode into the April tile.
Inspector demands for the official app: Some inspectors ask to see MVGO itself even when the barcode scans. Keep MVGO installed as a backup.

Saving a backup of this month's MVGO ticket

Open the ticket and screenshot the barcode

From MVGO, show the Deutschlandticket barcode full-screen and take a screenshot. Leave a small margin so the on-device AI can crop cleanly.

Import the screenshot into NeatPass

Open NeatPass, tap the plus button, and pick the screenshot from the photo library. The share extension also works directly from Photos.

On-device AI extracts the barcode and details

The neural engine reads the barcode and extracts validity month and ticket type without uploading the image, the privacy FAQ has the full picture.

Add to Wallet and pin a widget

Tap Add to Wallet and optionally pair with a Wallet widget for one-glance access on the Lock Screen during the trip.

Works in the U-Bahn tunnels too

Apple Wallet renders the barcode locally without signal. How offline mode works is a quick read for anyone who travels through Munich's underground dead spots.

Munich's Deutschlandticket in Wallet

MVGO gets the Deutschlandticket into Apple Wallet in a handful of taps, clearly documented in MVG's own step-by-step guide. The path is short, the catch is the monthly obligation to download the new ticket and add it to Wallet again.

For Munich riders happy to re-export on the 1st, the MVGO path works. For automatic monthly refresh, consider only sellers that explicitly support Wallet push updates; Deutschlandticket-App/HanseCom support depends on the participating contract partner.
