Heidelberg University provides its students with a multifunctional student ID. This card identifies the holder as a student of Heidelberg University. The ID card combines authentication or login services and payment functions.

Payment card for student services (cafeteria, copier, etc.)

General information on the student identity card

The personal student ID is issued on enrolment.

Not earlier than five working days after you received and activated your Uni-ID, you can pick up your student ID card in person and on presentation of a valid photo ID (i.e. identity card or passport). Dispatch by post is not possible.
You can collect your student ID card during the following times: Mon to Thurs 10 am – 4 pm and Fri 10 am – 2 pm
at the University Administration, Seminarstraße 2, 69117 Heidelberg.

Please note: You can only pick up your student ID card in person if your place of study is Heidelberg University or the Mannheim Medical Faculty at Heidelberg University. If your place of study is Heilbronn or Göttingen, you will receive your student ID card by post. If you are an auditing student affiliated with a different university, a guest auditor, a pupil student or if you are not entitled to a student ID card for any other reason, you will not receive a student ID card.

The student card must be validated by the student after it has been issued and after each re-registration. The semester period is indicated on the thermal strip of the student card. The validation devices are located in the service portal of central university administration and the main cafeteria in Neuenheimer Feld. On the Mannheim medical campus there is a validation device in the library printer room.
