This topic explains the different states of a card and its versions. The operational state of a card depends on both the card status and the version status.

Card Status

The card status (cardStatus) determines the state of the card by its ID (cardId). Each card has a unique identifier; the cardStatus defines the overall state of the card.

Card Version Status

A card can have multiple versions, like a new version is created before the current version expires or when a plastic card is worn out/damaged, a new version is reissued. The status of each version is indicated by cardVersionsStatus.
When you renew or reissue a card, a new version is created. However, when you replace a card, a new entity is created; replacement does not create a new version.
