The virtual cards - ISIC, ITIC and IYTC explained

In 2016, the virtual versions of the International Student Identity Card, International Teacher Identity Card, and International Youth Travel Card were introduced as a basic component of the ISIC app. The goal of virtual cards is to avoid plastic and to be constantly available via the app on mobile devices.

With the ISIC App, the International Student Identity Card organization has taken a big and important step into the digital world. As a result, cardholders will have an easy-to-use and contemporary way to use ISIC offerings even more easily in their everyday lives in the future.

Since 2018, the ISIC, ITIC and IYTC virtual cards are the official standard versions of the ISIC Association.

The plastic card versions of ISIC, ITIC and IYTC will continue to be offered, depending on the issuing office. Additional fees may apply for these physical cards. Of course, plastic cards are also still accepted as official proof of student status.

The virtual card in the app
After registering in the free ISIC app, cardholders also have the option of using their card in virtual form on their smartphone. With the help of security features, we can guarantee that the virtual version of the ISIC, just like the physical plastic card, is considered a full-fledged and globally recognized proof of student status.
