Student ID

You will need to apply for a new student ID card if you are a freshmen enrolled in a degree programme, or if you lost your original student ID card. 

Application procedure*: 

You can check the expiry date of your sticker on the back of your student ID card. You are entitled to various discounts: cultural, commercial, and transportation benefits only with a valid student ID card (meaning that your student ID card has a validation sticker). 

Requesting and producing a student ID card is free of charge, but if you lose the ID card, there is a fee to replace the sticker. 

You can receive a temporary student ID card 24 hours after your neptun request submission at the Student Services Area (Building E, first floor). A temporary student ID is valid for 60 days; therefore you need to apply for it every 60 days until you receive your original student ID (card), and you will receive a separate notification of when it is ready. The transport providers do not accept the temporary student ID when presented on a mobile phone, it must be printed out. 

*You DO NOT have to apply for a new student ID if: 

If you have been successfully re-admitted to Corvinus University of Budapest (e.g. from a bachelor’s to a master’s degree programme or enrolled to another programme), but your student status was not continuous, i.e. there is at least a one-semester break between your studies or maybe you come from the Székesfehérvár Campus, it is important to know that you will have to apply for a new student ID card and return your previous ID in the Student Services Area. 

To find out about how to apply for a new student ID, see the previous „Student ID application” drop-down menu. 

The student ID cards are sent directly to the address of the University. You will receive a message indicating when you can collect it from us. 

After you have been notified, you can only pick up the student ID in person, but if you cannot make it, you can send a proxy with official authorisation.  

The authorisation can be downloaded from Neptun through the Neptun » Administration » General forms menu. 

You can collect the ID card in person at the Student Services Area (Building E, 1st floor) during the opening hours, which you can see HERE. 

You will receive a message from us about the possibility to collect your student card validation sticker. 

You only have the ability to do this in person or through a proxy, who must not only have your official authority, but also your student ID card as well.  

You can collect your sticker in person at the Student Services Area (Building E, 1st floor). 

Important! 

If your semester is passive, you CANNOT get a validation sticker for that semester, however until the end of the validity of the sticker, you are entitled to specific discounts (full-time/part-time/evening study programmes). So, if you are passive in the spring semester, you can use your student sticker until 31 March, BUT remember that the next time you get a new one is in early October. If you are passive in the autumn semester, your sticker is valid until 31 October and the earliest you can get a new one – in your next active semester – is in March. 

The expiry date is printed on the back of the card.  

With a valid student ID card, you are entitled to various discounts: cultural, commercial, and transportation benefits. 

As a general rule, stickers received in the spring semester are valid until 31 October and those received in the autumn semester until 31 March. 

If you have failed to submit a student card application, but you have an active student status and study course and/or an active semester, or then you may apply for a temporary student ID.  

Important! 

The transport providers do not accept the temporary student ID when presented on a mobile phone, it must be printed, and the signature and stamp have to be original.
