  * `RENEWAL`: Renew a card before expiry.
  * `REPLACEMENT`: Replace a card (for example, lost or stolen).

### Optional parameters

  * `THALES`: Personalize in a Thales personalization center.
  * `INSTANT`: Personalize instantly in a branch.
  * `CENTRAL`: Personalize in issuer premises or a partner center.
* `services.priority` (string): Priority level used to refine `services.issuance`.
* `services.delivery` (string): Shipment method. Default: `NO_SHIPMENT`.\
  See [Shipment](/central-issuance/implement-central-issuance/card-order/shipment.md).
* `services.cardCarrier` (string): Card carrier identifier. Default: `NO_CARRIER`.\
  See [Card carrier](/central-issuance/implement-central-issuance/card-order/card-carrier-personalization.md).

  PIN mailers are typically sent about 2 business days after card shipment.
