How to transfer a plastic ORCA Card to your Google Wallet

READ FIRST: Important information about transferring your plastic card to Google Wallet

1. To convert a plastic ORCA card to your Google Wallet, you must have full access, load only, or unregistered permissions for the card.
2. If you received your card from a business, school, institution, or a Transit Agency promotion, you may be unable to convert your card using Google Wallet due to permissions set on the business's ORCA account.
3. When Google Wallet is launched, businesses, schools and institutions that issue ORCA cards will decide if and when their organizations are ready to allow their card holders to convert their cards to Google Wallet. Over time, ORCA will continue to work with organizations to roll out this new capability successfully. Your organization will reach out to you when Google Wallet is available for their ORCA cards.
4. Once you complete this process, your card will be updated from a plastic card to a digital card in your myORCA account with a new card number. E-purse and passes from your plastic card will be transferred to the new card in your wallet and your plastic card will be deactivated. This means your plastic card will no longer work and you will use Google Wallet instead.
5. If you have a RRFP card (Senior or Disabled), please keep the physical card on you to be able to use on transit as a flash pass throughout Washington state.
6. You will also receive confirmation emails from ORCA and Google with important information regarding your account, please save this information in a safe place.
