It was learned from Dalian Railway Department that the national railway passenger transport will fully use electronic invoices from October 1st, and paper reimbursement vouchers will no longer be provided. For passengers who need to check the paper version of train number, time, seat and other information, paper itinerary information prompt sheets will continue to be provided, and offline electronic invoice application channels and ticket purchasers (agents) will be added to provide convenience for the elderly and off-line people to obtain electronic invoices, and it will be more convenient and faster for passengers to obtain electronic invoices.

According to reports, the blue "paper ticket" in public consciousness is actually no longer a train ticket, but a paper reimbursement voucher shaped like a ticket. It does not have the function of checking in and taking a bus, and it is clearly marked with the words "only for reimbursement". Some passengers who are used to using paper reimbursement vouchers as trip prompts can print the "trip information prompt sheet" at the manual window and self-service equipment of the station.

Within 180 days from the end of the trip or the date of refund or change of tickets, passengers can apply for the issuance of electronic invoices through Railway 12306 or the station ticketing window or ticket vending machine. In case of incorrect invoice information or change of enterprise information, they can apply for the issuance of electronic invoices three times within the time limit for issuing original electronic invoices.

In order to ensure that the elderly, off-network people and other inconvenient passenger groups can obtain electronic invoices, the railway department has increased offline application channels and ticket purchasers (agents) to issue services. After the passenger applies for issuing an electronic invoice at the station ticketing window and ticket vending machine and obtains the "code scanning invoice" with his valid identity document used when purchasing tickets, the passenger himself or entrusts others to use the railway 12306App to scan the QR code on the "code scanning invoice", and the electronic invoice can be issued after completing the relevant information according to the needs and passing the verification. Tourism, student, research and other group tickets are not supported by the passengers themselves, and electronic invoices can be issued by the ticket buyers according to relevant procedures. Non-real-name registration system tickets, emergency paper tickets and cross-border passenger transport tickets that have not been handled through the railway ticket system continue to use the current railway reimbursement vouchers.
