How do I transfer my Clipper card from my wallet to another phone?

Move Clipper to Another Apple Device
  1. After you've removed your Clipper card from your old device, open the Wallet app on your new iPhone and press the plus + icon.
  2. Tap Previous Cards and choose your transit card.
  3. Add your transit card to the new iPhone.




Transferring a Clipper card (San Francisco Bay Area) in 2026 is a "move" process rather than a "copy" process because the card can only live on one device at a time. To transfer between iPhones, you must first go to the Apple Wallet on your old phone, select the Clipper card, tap the three dots ("..."), and select "Remove Card." This uploads the card and its balance to the cloud. On your new iPhone, open the Wallet app, tap the "+" button, select "Transit Card," then "Clipper," and choose "Add Previous Card." Your balance will reappear instantly. If you are moving from iPhone to Android (or vice versa), the process is more complex; you usually have to call Clipper Customer Service or use the Clipper App to "de-register" the card from the old ecosystem and re-register it on the new one. Always ensure you have a "Clipper Account" set up before starting the transfer so your balance is protected during the transition.
