How can I get my student card? 

If you would like to apply for a student card, first you will have to go to the Hungarian Integrated Government Customer (Kormányablak), where you will need to request for a NEK code. For this you need to fill out a form. You will also need your ID card/passport or driving licence and address card (if you have one). But more importantly, you don’t have to bring a photo with you, because the picture will be taken there in the office. You will receive the datasheet with the NEK ID / code, which is a 16-characters long identification code.

As 2^nd step you have to launch the application in the Neptun System (Login  >> Administration >> Student card application >> New admission) which is the next important step after checking the data.

Enter the NEK code (without separators; capital letters in the serial number field). From the drop - down menu, select the type of claim (first claim, lost, etc.) Your major you logged in with to the Neptun system will appear in the training field.

Student cards are usually sent to the address provided by you within 30-60 days, but if you do not receive it in this period of time, the institutional administrator may issue a Certificate (a so-called "temporary student card") until the plastic bilingual student card will be issued, entitling you to the benefits of the student card.
