The invention relates to a method and a device for personalizing card-shaped data carriers (10, 11, 12), such as chip cards in the forms ID000 to ID3 or other suitable formats, wherein a card-shaped data carrier (10, 11, 12) to be personalized is transported by means of a transport device in the device. Personalization data is transferred to an electronic memory device (13) of the card-shaped data carrier (10, 11, 12) by means of a personalization device (40) during the transport motion. Transporting the card-shaped data carrier (10, 11, 12) is performed by means of a band or tube-shaped carrier (20, 21, 22, 23) on which a plurality of data carriers (10, 11, 12) to be personalized are disposed consecutively in the transport direction.
