Applications for “Student Identity Cards” with a Fee

  • Requests for renewal due to the loss of the identity card
  • Requests for renewal for students who took a break due to failure to renew their registration

 

USAGE CONDITIONS OF THE STUDENT IDENTITY CARDS

  • Identity cards are issued to students registered in our university's programs and remain active for the entire duration of their registration.
  • Identity cards of students whose registration has been canceled (due to graduation, voluntary withdrawal, horizontal transfer, failure to renew registration, academic failure, etc.) are deactivated.

 

HOW TO APPLY FOR A STUDENT IDENTITY CARD?

To apply for the identity card, students must first obtain an METU user code and password from https://useraccount.metu.edu.tr/

Students who are required to pay the ID card fee must upload the bank receipt of their payment in JPEG format to the system or send it to nccregatmetu.edu.tr via email.

  • Your existing photo in the system, if available, will be displayed during the application process. You can use this photo on your identity card or upload a new one.

 

  1. Photo Requirements

  • The photo should be 50 mm x 60 mm in size, with a white background and no patterns.
  • The photo should not exceed 3MB and must be in png/jpg/jpeg/gif format.
  • The head should be in a vertical position, and it should not be turned in any direction. The photo should not have inappropriate facial expressions.
  • The eyes should be open and clearly visible. The photo should be taken while looking directly at the camera.
  • The face should be centered in the photo.
  • Photos that do not meet the official standards should not be uploaded to the system.

 

  1. Uploading the Photo to the System

    Information on uploading the photo to the system is available within the program. When uploading, the photo should be placed within the frame displayed in the program, ensuring proper alignment and size. Photos uploaded in an incorrect format will lead to the rejection of the application.

 

  1. Student Identity Card Preparation Process

  • The identity card application is reviewed by the Registrar’s Office, and approval is given through the system for eligible applications.
  • Applications that do not meet the criteria (such as inappropriate photo uploads, missing or incorrect payment receipts for students required to pay, etc.) will be rejected.
  • For rejected applications, students must log into the program, make the necessary corrections, and complete their application.
  • Students can track whether their applications have been approved or whether their identity cards have been prepared via the program they applied to (http://cardinfo.metu.edu.tr/).
  • A “ready” notice in the application program means the printing stage has been completed by the company. The “Student Identity Cards” are then delivered to the relevant academic units. Therefore, it may take some time for the cards to be forwarded to the Registrar’s Office.

 

LOSS OF IDENTITY CARD

Lost ID cards found on campus are forwarded to the following units. Therefore, the first step should be to inquire at these units:

  • Security Office 

Smart cards that serve as student identity cards also function as electronic wallets. Since there may be money loaded onto the card, in case of loss, it must be canceled by the cardholder from http://cardinfo.metu.edu.tr/ to prevent misuse by others. If the cancellation process is not carried out, the student will bear full responsibility.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USING THE IDENTITY CARD

  • The identity card should not come into contact with water, oil, chemicals, or similar substances.
  • Do not puncture the identity card with a stapler or other sharp implements.
  • The identity card should not be bent or used for purposes such as scraping ice.
  • Do not scratch the identity card with sharp or pointed objects.
  • The identity card should not be left under direct sunlight for extended periods.
  • Since the identity card has an electronic wallet feature, it should not be used as a deposit.
  • Do not lend the identity card to others for use.
