UEL ID Cards

Once you’ve enrolled we issue you with a Student Identity Card with your photograph and other essential information. This ID is your university ‘passport’, giving you access to UEL buildings, borrowing rights from the library, confirming your attendance and printing facilities on some sites.

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE:*** Please do not store your  UEL ID card next to your oyster card or mobile phone devices, as this may result in your card to stop working***

Unfortunately we can’t issue ID without supporting paperwork to prove your identity. This is because of a significant increase in misuse of cards to make multiple applications for loans and grants. We have a duty to safeguard public funds, so must insist on stringent checks. To get your ID Card you need to bring:

EITHER

• A FULL, valid passport

OR

Two of the following:

• A (full or provisional) driving licence showing current address
• An international driving licence
• An original birth certificate (in English)
• A debit or credit card (one only)
• A benefit book or benefit award letter (dated within last 3 months)
• An Armed Forces Identity card
• A police warrant card

There is no need to bring a photo as your picture will be taken on the day using a digital camera. FAQ about ID Cards.

Please note that your student card remains the property of UEL. It may be disabled and your access to buildings and other facilities denied if you fail to pay tuition fees/debts to UEL or breach other University regulations.
