# Card Renewal, Reissue, Replacement

This topic explains why and when a card is renewed, reissued, and replaced:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Renewal">
    <div style={{marginLeft:'20px'}}>
      <p>A card is renewed when the existing card is about to expire. The card number (PAN) and the PIN remain the same. The expiry date and the CVV2/CVC2 are regenerated.</p>

      <Note>Enfuce automatically generates a card renewal request before the current one expires. You can configure the renewal timing with your customer onboarding manager. For example, you can configure 30 days before expiry as your renewal time.</Note>
    </div>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Reissue">
    <div style={{marginLeft:'20px'}}>
      <p>A card is reissued when the existing card has either worn out or broken. The card number (PAN) remains the same. The expiry date and the CVV2/CVC2 are updated.</p>
      <p>By default, the PIN remains the same. However, you can modify this behaviour via the `pinStatus` parameter:</p>

      <ul>
        <li>Specify `GENERATED` to set a random PIN.</li>
        <li>Specify `WAITING` to set the PIN later.</li>
      </ul>

    </div>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Replacement">
    <div style={{marginLeft:'20px'}}>
      <p>A card is replaced when it is lost, stolen, or compromised for fraudulent activity. The card number (PAN), the expiry date, and the CVV2/CVC2 are updated.</p>

      <p>By default, the replaced card has a system-generated PIN. However, you can modify this behaviour via the `pinStatus` parameter — to manually set the PIN later, specify `WAITING`.</p>
