Student ID
Applying for a student ID card
You will need to request 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:
- Check your presonal data in the Neptun system. If you have lost your original Student ID card then you must visit Student Services Area to invalidate your stolen/lost card officially
- Start the application at the Document registering Office and receive the NEK datasheet
- Upload a scanned copy of the NEK datasheet in Neptun, at Information/Documents
- If you have an active student status, submit a new student ID application in Neptun, at Administration -> Student Card request with the “Add new” button
- 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 Service Area (Building E, first floor)
- When it is ready, you can receive your Student ID Card at the Student Service 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), 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, but the signature and stamp do not have to be original (so using the printed scanned version is fine).
You can check the expiry date of your sticker on the back of your Student ID Card. With a valid Student ID Card, you are entitled to various discounts: cultural, commercial, and transportation benefits.
If you have been successfully re-admitted to Corvinus University of Budapest (e.g. from a bachelor’s to a master’s degree programme, enrolled to another programme), but your student status was not continuous, i.e. there is at least a one-semester break between your studies, 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.
Stolen, lost, damaged
If your Student ID Card is lost, damaged (it’s completely broken, or it is missing some parts), please visit the Student Services Area in E building 1st floor. If you have lost your original Student ID card then you must visit Student Services Area to invalidate your stolen/lost card officially
You will need to request a new Student ID Card through Neptun if it is damaged, lost or stolen:
Administration -> Student Card request
You can do this if your personal details haven’t changed and your NEK number is still valid (It expires in 5 years).
Please note, if you had a valid Student ID Sticker on your damaged, lost or stolen Student ID Card then you will need to pay a “Special Procedure Fee” in order to receive a new sticker.
This fee will appear in Neptun once you report that your Student ID Card is damaged, lost or stolen.
