ID Card Collection

keen

Just want to double check that I have the correct date to collect my ID, I start on the 22nd but the schedule says the card should be collected on the 23rd? Course code DT211/2

Also do I need to submit passport pictures before then? Thanks for reading.

Yeah that sounds about right. You don't usually get the student card on the day you start.

They'll have a camera to take your picture.

Yep and they dont even tell you when they are going to take it so if you could be stuck with a crazy pic for the year. That little card has saved me many a euro over the years.

Wasn't paying attention when they were taking the picture, so I somehow ended up with a Derek Zoolander blue steel type picture.

and that is bad in what way?

It's not. I'm just letting everyone know that I'm really really ridiculously good looking. Even while not trying to be.

The huge demand for ID cards due to a broken lense suggests otherwise.......

how often do they take a new pic? Or do they leave you with the same one for the duration of your stay?

just checking because I look like I've been raped and savagely beaten in my photo and I've been stuck with it 2 years now ffs!! Hoping a new one gets taken in my 3rd year

A little off topic but I also fell victim to the whole "not-telling-when they-are-taking-the-picture" thing too! I remember someone on this forum saying that you can organize to get your picture retaken if you know the right people...unfortunately I don't:(

EVERYTIME I show my student card in a shop I can see the cashier trying not to laugh!!!

AFAIK you have the same photo for the duration of your course :rolleyes:

haha looks like I have an embarrassing few years ahead of me so:o

FreeOSCAR

Nope not true, ive got my picture taken twice now. I paid throught the giro. AFAIK if you pay online they send the same pic on the card out to you.

-Blanco-

Oh really? Crap-already paid online..! One more year of embarrassment at least so...!

Creamy Goodness

even if you pay by giro you can still end up with last years photo.

people in my year have had the same photo for 3 years and have paid by giro everytime.
