Student ID card

Student ID card – document confirming the student status.

In Poland all students are issued with student ID cards after matriculation. They are entitled to hold them till the end of their studies, but they lose the right to use the document if they are suspended or  expelled.

Validity of the (paper) Card is to be confirmed every semester by putting on it the date of expiry and a round stamp with the state crest, and an electronic version of the card is validated by updating the data in the electronic circuit and putting another hologram on the card.
