Use
The Deutschland-Semesterticket is a personal ticket and is not transferable. It is provided as a mobile ticket in the NAH.SH app for Android (from version 8.0) and iOS (from version 14.5). If you use a Huawei smartphone, you have the option of downloading the mobile phone ticket in the DB Navigator app from the Huawei AppGallery.
Simply show your mobile ticket at the ticket inspection or when boarding the bus and you're done. By the way: You do not need to be permanently online – the mobile ticket is saved in the app and can therefore also be called up in offline mode, e.g. if there is no internet connection. It is sufficient to open the mobile phone ticket once a month in the second half of the month when the Internet connection is active. The validity is then automatically extended by one month in the background until the end of the semester.
By decision of the government, the Deutschlandticket –and thus also the Deutschland-Semesterticket– is a digital ticket. We ask for your understanding that we are not allowed to issue the Deutschland-Semesterticket as a paper ticket due to legal requirements. If you are unable to use the mobile phone ticket, please contact your AStA.

You will of course immediately be handed back your smartphone.

If you cannot show your valid Semesterticket Schleswig-Holstein during a ticket inspection, this is travel without a valid ticket. This also applies if the mobile ticket cannot be presented, e.g. due to technical faults of the device, empty battery etc.
In this case, you are obligated to pay an increased transport fee (so-called penalty fare ticket). This is twice the normal fare for a single trip on the route taken, but at least 60 Euro. You can pay the increased transport fee immediately, alternatively you will receive a written request for payment. Your address will be registered.
Upon subsequent presentation of your personal Semesterticket Schleswig-Holstein, the increased transport fee will be reduced to a processing fee of 7 Euro:
- The condition is that you can prove that you owned a Semesterticket that was valid at the time of the check.
- Contact the transportation company from which you received the penalty fare ticket within a week of the date of the check. Show proof of your Semesterticket there; please be sure to include the penalty fare reference number found on the receipt.
- If this is successfully proved, the increased transport fee will be reduced to a processing fee of 7 Euro.
The transportation company that checked you is your point of contact for questions about penalty fares. Contact details can be found on the receipt or payment request.

Furthermore, scanning the barcode will check if the Semesterticket is real. No further processing of the data occurs. The read data will not be saved.
