Student ID Card – Application and Validation
What is required to apply for a permanent student ID card?
1. Administration at a Government Office
Newly enrolled students must first initiate the request for a NEK data sheet at any government office. This involves taking a photograph and recording a signature sample.
To obtain a NEK identifier, the following documents are required:
- ID card, passport, or driver’s licence
- Address card
The issued data sheet contains a 16-character identification code, which is essential for submitting a student ID card application.
2. Verification of Personal Data in the Neptun System
The personal data on the data sheet issued by the government office and the data recorded in the Neptun system must match exactly, character by character. Any discrepancy will result in a failed application.
3. Submitting the Student ID Card Application
After logging into Neptun, students can start their application under:
Administration → Student Card Request → New request
Newly enrolled students can initiate their application no earlier than the first day of the study period.
Students can track the current status of their application in their Neptun interface.
Completed student ID cards are delivered to the higher education institution. Students will receive a Neptun message about their arrival and collection options.
After receiving the notification, student ID cards can be collected in person at the EDHI office by prior appointment.
How can the student ID card be validated?
Students are entitled to discounts only if their student ID card is validated with a sticker for the current semester.
After receiving the student ID card, the validation sticker can also be collected from the staff of the EDHI office.
