What is a student ID card?

Your student ID card officially identifies you as a Griffith student and is required to:

  • use the library
  • access concessions in and around the campus
  • identify you at on-campus activities, such as exams
  • receive student discounts and travel concessions.

You can order your student ID card online following the steps below.

Have a photo and your ID ready

Before you order your student ID card online, you will need a copy of your current photo identification ready, such as your drivers' licence or passport.

You will also need to take a photo of yourself from your webcam, or upload a suitable photo of yourself that:

  • is a good quality colour print, less than 12 months old
  • has your head and face in the centre with a clear gap around the sides of your head and hair
  • has a plain, light coloured-background
  • has no head bands or head covering (except on religious grounds)
  • has eyes showing clearly through glasses, with no reflection
  • has no sunglasses or glasses with tinted lenses that obscure the eyes.
