Eurail Pass Cover Number

What is Pass Cover Number?

Passengers booking Eurail or Interrail passes require to book seat reservations on all the overnight trains & on most highspeed & scenic trains. To be able to book these seat reservations passengers are often asked for Pass cover number (sometimes also referred to as pass jacket number). This number is different from an M-pass number. A Pass cover number is not necessary when making reservations via our platform and on certain train stations. At some other train stations and on some of the Railways' website Pass cover number may be required to book seat reservations.

The difference between mPass number and Pass cover number

Mobile Pass Number / mPass Number: This is an alphanumeric code (may contain both, numbers and letters) with six characters  (e.g. XT502R). This is the number that will have to be used to activate your Eurail/Interrail Pass and can be found on the confirmation email.
Pass Cover Number / Verification Number: A series of numbers starting with a big letter “i” followed by 8 numbers for Interrail and for Eurail starts with "e". This is for when reserving a seat directly with the train operators (e.g. I12345678 & E12345678). This cannot be found on the confirmation email and must be generated on Eurail/ Interrail portal.

Where can I find my Pass cover number?

Eurail pass number cannot be found on the confirmation, and must instead be generated online on Eurail/Interrail portal.
