A regular cancelation of a NS subscription needs to be completed at a ticket machine. When you live abroad, an alternative option is available.
Cancel your OV-chipcard
1. Register here. This registration is in Dutch. Fill in a username, your mail address and a password.
2. Report your card as lost or stolen here. Do not ask for a replacement of the card.
If you do not wish to cancel the OV-chipcard, please make sure someone you know can complete the cancelation, by giving them your card. In that case you do not need to cancel the card. He or she can then end the subscription by calling NS Customer Service by phone (030-751 51 55).
Cancel your subscription
Two days after cancelation of the card, please contact NS Customer Service per Twitter (NS_online) or by phone (0031 30 75 15 250).
Keep in mind that if you received a reminder of payment, you do need to pay the subscription fee. After cancelation, a refund of the remaining months will be transferred.
Extra information
- Lost your card? Please contact OV-chipcard at @OVchipkaart or through this page

Hi, I want to cancel my NS subscription (40% discounts on travel) as I left a Netherlands over 6 months ago. I've already blocked my Personal OV Card. Can anybody help me with that?
That would have been a better solution, but unfortunately they forgot to implement such facility when they designed the OV-chipcard system.
After that you can order a replacement card at TLS, because the old one is broken. Your old subscriptions are pre-loaded on that OV-chipcard, so you can still continue to use your subscription. That's why sending the card to NS doesn't guarantee that you cannot use your subscription anymore.
Well, as far as I see it that would be up to NS to block or treat s a new contract. Sending a registered cancellation letter including the card should be a legally binding and valid cancellation of the contract(s).
Why is noone even suggesting it as a fallback option?

Reading only a fraction of all these peoples (this seems to be problem no. 1 for foreigners) posts having sooo many problems cancelling their subscription etc. I wonder:
What has happened to the standard / default way to end any legal contract? Just sending a registered (to have proof) letter and glue the card cut in two parts to the letter? That is old-fashioned and it costs some money to send a registered letter, but it should work without any additional hassels, or?

Hmm.. That's strange. Can you send me a private message with the OV-chipcardnumber you received in your e-mail?
One of the moderators on here helped me after I blocked the card. I got the money I had on the card returned too. I thought that was it finished with. I don't understand why it has to be so complicated.
@Did you contact our customer service after you blocked the OV-chipcard to end the subscription?
Back again. I thought I had gotten everything (card and subscription) cancelled but I just received a mail from NS telling me that I have a continuing yearly subscription which begins on the 3rd Oct 2016, and that the price has increased.
I'm now worried that they expect me to still pay.

Hello IrisL. Did they explain via Twitter why it's not working?
In the message above yours I'm explaining the contact details. In case you have no other option, you can send me a private message. Keep in mind that an answer could take a while because I'm not always here.

Hello jose91, I'm sorry to read this. Unfortunately it is hard for me to give you information without your personal details. I would like to advice you to contact us via Twitter, Facebook or Chat. If that's not possible for you it is also an idea to send me a direct message (click on my name and send message), but because this case needs to be solved as soon as possible I would advice you to contact us via social media. I am not always here, so there's a big chance I can't help you soon enough.
Hi there! I receive an e-mail that I have to pay 90 euros for a suscription. I would like to cancel the suscription and the OV-Chipkaart, because on May 2015 I applied for it and I pay the suscription but I never received he Chipkaart. I haven't received the card yet. I called NS in May to solve and to cancel but it seems not helped. I paid a suscription and I couldn't use the card and now I don't want to pay again. I tried to cancel my suscription in time but I didn't receive my card so I couldn't enter the expiration date of my card (required).I need help! Thank you!
Hoi Peter. De vervaldatum van jouw kaart is 07.05.2020.
Hoi,
Ik woon al enige tijd in het buitenland, maar heb nog steeds een abonnement lopen. Ik heb mijn OV-pas niet meer, en kan daarom ook niet mijn pas blokkeren via OV-chipkaart.nl (ik weet niet wat de vervaldatum van de kaart is).
Referentienummer is 5049820. Kaartnummer kan ik PM'en.
Groeten
Peter
