All persons staying in a resort that levies a resort tax and who are not registered as residents or employees in that resort (overnight and day visitors) are required to pay the resort tax.
The obligation to pay the visitor's tax is determined by the ability to use public facilities.
Owners or occupants of a second home are also subject to the visitor's tax if the property is used primarily for recreational purposes.

Children under the age of 6 are exempt. They receive a free UsedomCard.
Exemptions are voluntary benefits provided by the municipalities that collect the visitor’s tax, which they fund from their own budgets.

The visitor’s tax is standardized throughout the Usedom Island tourism region and the city of Wolgast. The regulations governing the collection of visitor’s taxes issued by the respective municipality apply. In addition, any amount collected by a municipality within the uniform collection area that exceeds the amount calculated based on its own municipality-specific formula is collected on behalf of and for the account of other municipalities. This amount is to be used exclusively for purposes specified in the Tourist Tax Act and the tourist tax ordinance of the municipality within the uniform collection area.

Upon payment of the visitor’s tax, overnight guests will receive their UsedomCard directly from their lodging provider. Day visitors can purchase it at tourist information offices, at the Wolgast City Information Center, or conveniently at the UsedomCard vending machines. For more information, please contact your local tourist information office or city information center, or ask your accommodation provider directly.
Holders of annual visitor’s cards also receive an UsedomCard. You can obtain this from your local municipality or the tourist or city information office after paying the annual visitor’s tax. Residents of a town that collects the visitor’s tax can pick up their free annual visitor’s card at the tourist or city information office in their local municipality.

The UsedomCard is valid only during the validity period printed on or displayed on the card. Furthermore, the UsedomCard is valid only when presented with an official photo ID.

If you need to end your stay on Usedom early, you can notify your landlord of the shortened stay and have it confirmed. Any excess tourist tax paid will then be refunded. Physical UsedomCards must be returned accordingly. In the case of the UsedomCard to go, the validity period will be digitally shortened.
There is no entitlement to refunds for daily or annual visitor’s cards.
If you plan to leave later and extend your stay, simply speak with your landlord. You can pay the additional visitor’s tax to them and thereby extend the validity of your UsedomCard.

You'll find your booking code on your UsedomCard below the QR code. The booking code is marked with the abbreviation "BC."

The QR code is used to verify the validity of your UsedomCard. If you are stopped by a ticket inspector, they can scan your QR code to receive digital confirmation of its validity.
At the same time, for UsedomCard holders with integrated transportation services, the QR code serves as authorization for ticket-free use of transportation services. On shuttle buses, the QR code is scanned upon boarding to verify its validity. On DB Regio trains, validity is checked visually.

To receive the UsedomCard digitally, you must provide your email address to your rental agency. You will then receive the UsedomCard as a PDF or wallet file in a separate email. At the same time, you’ll also have the option to access the digital travel companion via a link in this email, which provides digital versions of your UsedomCard and those of your traveling companions.
 

Receiving the UsedomCard in digital form is a voluntary service that you may opt out of at any time. The privacy policy pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR regarding the visitor’s tax can be viewed on this page (www.usedom.de/usedomcard).

There are two ways to log in:
If you provide your email address directly to your rental agency, you’ll receive a separate email containing not only the UsedomCard in digital form but also a link that takes you directly to your digital travel companion. In this case, you’re already logged in.
Otherwise, you can log in to your digital travel companion yourself by entering your last name and booking code, where you’ll find your digital UsedomCard.

You can view all of your travel companions’ UsedomCards with a single login, provided that you have provided your email address to your rental company, agreed to receive the UsedomCard to go, and use the link from the confirmation email to log in.

To log in to your digital travel companion, you’ll need the last name of the primary traveler as listed on your booking and the booking code printed on your UsedomCard. It is important to enter the correct spelling in each case.

If you are still unable to log in, your rental agency may not have registered you electronically in the system yet. In this case, please contact your rental agency.
