# Deactivate card

**PATCH** `/issuing/cards/{card_id}/deactivate`

Permanently deactivate a card. The card's status changes to `deactivated` and cannot be reactivated. If the card has card tokens that aren't deactivated, set `deactivate_card_tokens` to `true` to deactivate them as well; otherwise the request is rejected.

### Path Parameters

- `card_id` `string` _(required)_ — Unique identifier for the card.

### Body Parameters

- `deactivate_card_tokens` `boolean` — When `true`, all card tokens in a non-terminal state are automatically deactivated before the card is deactivated. When `false` or omitted, the request is rejected if the card has tokens in a non-terminal state.
- `deactivation_reason` `string` — The reason for deactivating the card
