To activate your debit card you most likely will need the PIN. (personal identification number) If it is a new card, you would have either created the PIN with your bank prior to receiving the card or the PIN will be provided for the card, but it will come in a separate mailing about 2-3 business days after receiving the card. You should also be provided a new PIN when receiving a replacement card for a lost/stolen debit card. Not always, some banks do allow you to keep using the same PIN. For replacement cards, that have the same card number as your previous card, you will want to use the PIN for that previous card. There are a few ways you can activate your card. Usually a sticker on the front of the card should provide a phone number to call to activate or the number may be provided in the literature sent with the card. You can also take the card to an ATM machine and activate it by either viewing you balance or making a withdraw. Some banks may require you use their ATM machine to do this. You can also take the card to your local branch to activate it. In some cases a PIN is not required to activate the card. Usually because the phone number provided to activate the card will have you select your PIN during the activation process. In which you will need to verify your personal information, i.e. social security number, birth date etc.

Where should you sign on debit card to activate it?

When you get your debit card, there's a sticker with an 800 number on it which you call to activate it. Signing it does not activate it, and you shouldn't sign it - signing it removes the requirement to see ID with a card purchase, and, while many cashiers don't ask for ID, every now and then, you'll find one who does, and this might prevent a lost or stolen card from being used fraudulently.
