Which solution fits you?

Your institution can get a personalised card, with a design that represents you and technology that fits your existing systems.

Universities

The ISIC with your logo becomes your official student card, at a public or private university. With the Erasmus Charter, the European Student Card goes on the same card.

Private schools

An ISIC with your school's logo, for pupils at private high schools and 9-year schools. Recognised in Albania and on trips abroad, with new discounts every day.

Organisations

Partner with ISIC to raise awareness of your organisation and earn on every new student you refer to us.

European Student Card

The European Student Card adds a QR code to your institution's card that proves student status. One scan, and the EU's ESC-Router confirms the student is enrolled, anywhere in Europe.

The card the world recognises

ISIC is backed by UNESCO, together with the leading student, university, youth and travel organisations.

UNESCO

Recognised by UNESCO since 1968

UNESCO recognised ISIC as the only internationally accepted proof of student status in 1968, and its logo has been on the card since 1993.

Since 2025, the ISIC Association has also held special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council.

Frequently asked questions

It can. Many institutions make the co-branded ISIC their official student card, so one card works on campus and abroad. It can also sit alongside the card you use today.
