How can I get the card?
Online
It is possible to purchase your ISIC / IYTC / ITIC on our website or from your school if they are an approved issuer.
In New Zealand, the ISIC, IYTC and ITIC are ONLY issued in the DIGITAL format.
Can I use my card as proof of identity?
The ISIC card proves that you are a full-time student. Whether it can be used as a proof of identification
depends from country to country. It is always best to check the local regulations before you arrive in your
destination.
I cannot log-in to the app, what can I do?
There can be several reasons why you can’t log in to the ISIC global App
- You have inserted incorrect log-in details.
- There is a problem with your account.
- You are yet to set up your ISIC App profile.
Here’s what you can do:
- Ensure you have set up your ISIC App profile by following the instructions in the onboarding email.
- If you are still having problems, please contact

Can I upload or change my photo in the ISIC global App?
When we don’t have a photo on file, you can upload a photo to your virtual ID via the App. Go via the menu to your profile screen and upload an image for use on your virtual ID. Please ensure you upload a passport style, headshot photo.
It is possible to change your photo in the ISIC global app. You can request to have your photo removed at mobiletickets@isic.org by providing your card number and reason for photo removal. After we have removed your photo you can upload a new photo to your virtual card.
Your photo can be removed by the ISIC global office if your profile image doesn’t include your likeness or is not headshot photo.

I was refused a benefit, what do I do?
We take refusal of a promoted discount or benefit very seriously. In order to fully investigate, please contact us and explain what happened and where with as many details as possible. We will fully investigate the matter.
How long are the cards valid for?
The ISIC, IYTC and ITIC cards are all valid for 12 months from the date of application.
I have completed my application online. How long will it take to get my card?
Customers with correctly ordered virtual ISIC/IYTC/ITIC cards will receive a confirmation email
immediately with the order details. ISIC will process and approve the application within 24hrs (during
business days), or contact the applicant via email if further information is required. Once the virtual card
application has been approved the customer will receive another email providing them with the serial
number. This number can then be used to access the virtual card via the ISIC App. It is the responsibility
of the card applicant to download the app and sign up for an account, through which they can access
their virtual card.
How do I access my digital card?
Very easily! Simply download the ISIC App, create an Account, and then log in using the details provided to you via email, once your card was issued.
I bought my card, do I have to activate it?
All Cards issued in Australia and New Zealand are automatically activated as soon as you are issued the card. Digital cards are therefore activated once you’ve downlaoded and created your ISIC App account with your credentials.
In some countries cards issued require activation, but not for Australia and New Zealand.
