## How to Apply for your Nova x Mercuryo Debit Card

1. In the Nova Wallet app, `select` **Manage Debit Card** from the Assets screen, and then `select` **Issue card**.
2. When creating a new card, you will be prompted to `input` the amount of funds (in **EUR**) you wish to fund it with. Before starting this process, it is recommended that you have **at least 30 EUR of DOT** in your Nova Wallet account.
3. You will then be prompted to complete the **KYC process**, which requires you to submit a valid identity document and pass a liveliness check. If you submitted a valid (and legible) identity document and passed the liveliness check, the whole KYC process should take **\~5 minutes**.
4. After you complete the KYC process, Nova Wallet will prompt you to `sign a transaction` to fund your Debit Card with the correct amount of **DOT** tokens.
5. You will need to wait **\~5 minutes** for your Debit Card to be issued.
