Abstract

In a method and an apparatus for singling cards such as check cards or identity cards, each card to be singled is moved beforehand into a singling groove, thereby passing out of the area of a stop holding the stack. The card thus presingled is thereupon taken completely off the stack using a suitable removing sucker. In this way, cards can be singled very reliably and gently.
