The LeibnizCard replaces the chip cards and paper IDs used until 2018 and in the future will conveniently combine the most important functions you need around everyday university life on one card:
- Student ID Card *
- University sports CampusCard
- Payment function for university sports and university services** (TIB, Center for University Sports)
The use of the LeibnizCard as student ID and semester ticket is obligatory. The LeibnizCard can be used as a visual ID, as far as events of the university are attendance restricted. An official photo ID must be presented upon request. The use of the card should enable the verification of the eligibility and reduce waiting times.
* For the use of the libraries a separate personal registration in the library is absolutely necessary.
**applies only to cash registers connected to the clearing system of the Studentenwerk Hannover.

GENERAL INFORMATION
How to get a LeibnizCard?
In order to receive your personal LeibnizCard, you must upload a suitable photo in electronic form once in your IDM user account. In the coming semesters, uploading your photo can also be done as part of the online enrollment process.
The first card will be sent to you by mail and you will keep it for the duration of your studies at Leibniz Universitat Hannover. In order for the validity for the respective semester to be noted on the LeibnizCard, you must validate the card yourself after successful re-registration.
The LeibnizCard remains the property of Leibniz Universitat Hannover. Please handle your LeibnizCard with care. The card must not be bent or damaged.
From when is the LeibnizCard valid?
In order to use the LeibnizCard as a student ID and semester ticket, you must validate the card at one of the designated stations after you have successfully re-registered (transfer of the semester fee). In practice, this means that a corresponding validity imprint is applied to the LeibnizCard. You have to do this process on your own every semester. Newly enrolled students will receive their LeibnizCard already validated by mail, so that the card can be used immediately as a semester ticket. There are currently eleven validation stations in operation.
