International enrolment

As a new International student, you will receive information about collecting your student ID card after you have completed your Registration.

Information about where you can collect your ID card from September 2026 will be posted here when dates are confirmed.

Cards will only be available if all registration criteria have been met.

Important:
You must have uploaded a photo and provided all your enrolment documentation before your ID card will be issued.

If you have uploaded an eVisa share code, you will be able to collect your student ID card once you have received an email to confirm that your share code has been accepted and Registration is complete.

Returning students will not receive a new card as your existing card will remain valid for the duration of your studies.

You can obtain a replacement card via My LJMU.

Please note
Replacement cards will not be posted.
Once you have ordered your new card, you must take the email receipt to either of our libraries (City or Mount Pleasant) between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday, and a new card will be produced for you at the Hub.
