You will of course need the spare card to to this.

If you have been issued the spare smart card for one day they is no need to return it on the vts device as its automatically done ,the only time to return the card on the vts device if its been issued to you, let's say 5 days, your new smart card comes on the 3rd day , then you have to return the spare smart card via the vts device.
The spare smart card should be left on site in a secure place,
I just hope your new smart card works as we have had a few issues with new smart cards and smart card readers.

When I have issued the spare smart card to myself (as site manager), it has only been for one day as that is all you can have when issuing it to yourself. Before using my own card again I have had to de-assign the spare on the computer. Having tried to just use my own card without doing so, the computer says no. After going through the routine I have then found a message on the computer saying someone had attempted to use my card and I may want to investigate.

Thanks for the info maybe it is different if you assign the card to yourself ? I'm hoping as the spare was assigned to me just for a day that when my new card comes I can just use it without a problem or I will have to wait another week for my manager what a pain

What aylesburyjock described sounds very fimilliar.
