The card has several functions:

Key card – it gives you access to the university after opening hours

It is used for printouts and copying

How to order your student ID card

Read our manual on how to order your student ID card.

Lost or stolen cards

Lost or stolen cards can be deactivated in the Self service-portal. Lost cards can be replaced at a fee of NOK 200,-

Valid when tuition fee is paid

The student ID card is only valid together with a receipt that shows that tuition fee has been paid. You can contact Student service to get a sticker that you put on the back of the card.

Digital student ID

In some cases, the student ID app can be used instead of your student card, for example on public transportation. You still need your ID card to get access to the university and to borrow books at the library.

You can read more about and download the app at Sikt.no.

The app includes both Norwegian and English languages and follows the default language on your mobile.

After you have logged in the first time, the app can be used without Internet access. You log in with Feide.

The following information about you is transferred to the app: Name, photograph, date of birth, student number, barcode for student card number/student number, the semester you are registered for and have paid the semester fee for, and that you are a student at VID.

The student ID app is only valid if you have paid the semester fee.
