Your student status, recognised in Belgium and worldwide.

The ISIC card (International Student Identity Card) is the only internationally recognised student card. It proves you are a student anywhere in the world and gives you access to more than 150,000 discounts and benefits in more than 130 countries. ISIC has been supported by UNESCO since 1968. In Belgium you order your card from ISIC Belgium. You get it digitally in the ISIC app and can add a plastic card.

There are four cards. Which one you need depends on who you are and what you do: • ISIC STUDENT: you study full-time at a Belgian university or university college. • ISIC SCHOLAR: you are in Belgian primary or secondary education. • ITIC: you are a teacher, lecturer or professor at a Belgian educational institution. • IYTC: you are under 31 and not (or no longer) a student.

• €20: one year of ISIC. • €20: one year of ITIC. • €20: one year of IYTC. • €30: two years of ISIC. • €25: one year of ISIC with one year of the Guido City App (Value Pack). These prices are for the digital card in the ISIC app. A plastic card costs €7 extra.

Anyone who studies, goes to school or teaches in Belgium, and young people who are no longer students but are under 31: • Full-time students at a Belgian educational institution, including postgraduate, doctoral and exchange students (ISIC STUDENT). • Pupils in Belgian primary and secondary education (ISIC SCHOLAR). • Teachers, lecturers and professors at a Belgian higher education institution who teach at least 18 hours a week for at least one academic year (ITIC). • Young people aged 12 or over who are not (or no longer) students and are under 31 when they apply (IYTC). There is no maximum age for ISIC STUDENT and ITIC. Studying abroad? Then apply through the ISIC organisation of your host country.

For every card you need a valid ID and a passport photo. On top of that: • ISIC STUDENT: a valid proof of enrolment or admission certificate from a Belgian higher education institution for the current academic year. • ISIC SCHOLAR: if you are under 16, also an ID of your parent or legal guardian. • ITIC: a current employer’s certificate from a Belgian educational institution for the current school year. • IYTC: nothing extra; proof of enrolment is not needed.

Your digital card is usually available within two working days of your order. For a plastic card, processing takes 7 to 10 working days. Do you need your digital card for a trip or a certain date? Then order at least two working days ahead.

With your ISIC card you get more than 150,000 discounts and benefits in more than 130 countries, in Belgium and abroad. Among other things you save on: • Travel and transport: train, bus, ferry, flights and accommodation. • Museums and UNESCO World Heritage: reduced entry to museums, archaeological sites, palaces and monuments. • Shopping and leisure: deals from international brands, restaurants, shops, attractions and online subscriptions. You find all benefits on the Benefits page of this site and in the ISIC app, where you also see local benefits nearby and save favourites. Which benefits apply differs per country and card type.

Your card is valid for 12 or 24 months, depending on whether you choose one or two years of ISIC. The validity runs from the date your card was created. You see the expiry date in your profile in the ISIC app and on your digital card.
