Your Student ID Card 

Your Royal Holloway Student ID Card is proof of your identity at Royal Holloway. It's also your access card to campus buildings, your Library card, Campus Account card and your Students' Union membership card. 

For all students starting a new course, we ask that you submit a passport style photo for your Student ID Card so we can prepare your card for you.

Submitting a photo 

It's important you upload a suitable image for your Student ID Card, please see our Photo Selection Guide for full details and examples. Please email your photo to StudentID@royalholloway.ac.uk

Make sure you submit your photo for your Student ID Card as soon as possible. Your card will not be ready for the beginning of term, we will email you when it is ready for collection with collection details. Before uploading your photo please check our guidance about uploading a photo to meet the format and size requirements. Your Student ID card is an essential part of being a student at Royal Holloway; it allows building and event access, access to library facilities and is your main form of identification on campus.  

Requirements for your photo

You will be emailed when your card is ready for collection. Please wait for your collection email before visiting the collection point.

If you've previously studied at Royal Holloway

If you have previously studied at Royal Holloway or changed your start date, you’ll still need to submit a new passport style photo for use on your new Student ID Card; we cannot use your previous photo. Please note, failure to submit a photo will result in a delay in you receiving your new Student ID Card.
