Student Card Administration
The application, issuing, withdrawal and validation of student cards are regulated by Government Decree 362/2011 (XII. 30.) on Education Related Identification Cards (hereinafter ‘student cards’).
A student having active student status at MATE is entitled to request for a student card. Based on the NEK form in Neptun system, a student can submit his/her first student card request free of charge electronically via Neptun system. The student card request has no deadline.
According to Government Decree 362/2011 (XII. 30.) on Education Related Identification Cards, a student can have only one higher education student card at a time. If the student studies at several institutions at the same time, or attends other training programmes of the institution, or the education of his/her course takes place in several locations (cities), he/she can request this fact to be indicated on the required student card. Student card request should be submitted from the institution in which the student has an active student status. If the student participates in several forms of training programmes at the same time (e.g. full-time and correspondence training), he/she can use the student card that offers more benefits.
According to Section 3 (1) of Government Decree 362/2011, "education related identification cards in higher education are valid until 31 March of the 9th year from the date of issue the latest".

Requesting the Student Card:
Go to the Government Office
NEK form – Neptun system
Register your student card request in Neptun system
Certificate for reduced transport fares
Correcting errors in your request
Receiving your student card
Validating your student card
Alteration to your student card data
Lost or damaged student card
Expired, invalid/withdrawn student card
Go to the Government Office
Student card administration is based on NEK form, which is valid for 5 years according to the current regulation. NEK form is issued by a Government Office (in Hungarian: Okmányiroda /Kormányablak) where your personal data and signature are registered, and a profile photo is taken. Incorrect data in NEK form can only be corrected at the Government Office!
NEK form – Neptun system
After having your NEK form and before you submit your student card request, you must compare your data in Neptun system with the data in the NEK form. If you notice any difference in the data, you should contact the Registrar’s Office and request the correction of your data.
Register your student card request in Neptun system
You need to register your student card request in Neptun system. Select “Administration” and choose “Student Card request”, where should enter your NEK Identifier (you can find it in the top right corner of your NEK form).
“Demand types” can be first request, change in data, damaged card, lost card.
If you are entitled to request a student card at more than one faculty or form of training course, it is necessary to check your “Training” (top left corner in your Neptun account) before registering your request. The faculty and form of training are automatically added to your request when registering it so please double check them.
“Your address”: Please select your permanent home address (in your home country) from the drop-down menu. It is important to enter an address that is officially registered in Hungary, which means that you must have a special address card. If you do not have a Hungarian address card, you need to choose your permanent home address, otherwise your request will be rejected.
Certificate for reduced transport fares
Students can request for temporary student cards (i.e. the certificate for reduced transport fares) at MATE Registrar’s Office until their permanent student cards are not ready.
Without requesting a student card, a temporary certificate valid for 60 days can be issued to a non-Hungarian student who has a scholarship for less than twelve months, and to a student who changes his/her institution and the new institution cannot register the student and submit his/her request due to the transition period from the previous one.
Correcting errors in your request
You can check the status of your request in Neptun system or on www.diakigazolvany.hu website by entering your educational ID.
If you see “NEK production rejected” status, it means that your request contains an error/errors.
You can check the error description in Neptun system. Select “Administration”, then click on “Student Card Administration” and finally on “Error Description”. If you do not see the cause of the error, ask for help at the Government Office where the student card is administered. After the error has been corrected, the request is submitted to the Educational Authority again.
Receiving your student card
Student cards are issued within 45-60 days of submitting your request. The Educational Authority sends the new student cards to the institution by post. You can check the status of your request in Neptun system, where you can see if your student card is ready. You will receive a Neptun message about the delivery of your student card.
Validating your student card
If you have an active student status, you will be provided with a student card validation sticker every semester which includes the validity period, the serial number of the sticker and the letter code of the institution. The date of expiry of the first semester validation stickers is 31st March, and it is 31st October in case of the second semester validation stickers. One student is entitled to one validation sticker in a semester. If you lose the sticker, you will have to pay an administration fee of HUF 3,500.
Alteration to your student card data
You need to request for a new student card if there is a change in your personal data, address or your form of training.
Lost or damaged student card
If your student card is lost, stolen, damaged, destroyed, you must report it to the Registrar’s Office and you can request for a new student card electronically in Neptun system. A damaged student card should be handed over, otherwise you should declare that it has been lost or stolen. If your student card is lost or damaged, the validation sticker is also lost or damaged. Since one student is entitled to one validation sticker in a semester, you will have to pay an administration fee of HUF 3,500 in this case, too.
Expired, invalid/withdrawn student card
Upon termination of the student status, the student card shall be withdrawn. The University shall report the termination of the student status to the Educational Authority. The student is entitled to use the validated student card until 31st March in case of the first semester and until 31st October in case of the second semester. If the student loses the card within the eligibility period, a certificate can be issued for him/her as a replacement.
