What you need to do
All full-time secondary, young adult, and adult ākonga can apply for a student ID card by filling out the online form.
You'll need to attach a photo when you apply for your ID card. Photos should be a similar style to passport photos.
If you are an ākonga in Christchurch, you'll need to download a separate application form and send it with your payment to the address specified on the form.
