Who is eligible for an ISIC?

It's simple! If you are a full-time student you qualify for the ISIC.

Being enrolled in full-time studies at an accredited institution is the only requirement. You can be in high school or in post-secondary studies, but you must be at least 12 years old. There is no upper-age limit for the ISIC, but full-time students of all ages can benefit from their special status. Keep in mind though that some businesses and airlines may have their own rules which restrict discounts to a certain age group.

When you apply for the card, you will have to present proof that you are currently attending school full-time at a recognized institution. This could be either your student ID or a signed letter on official stationary from your school. Then you will be issued with a card that will quickly prove you are a student in over 95 countries around the world. From then on, all you will need to prove that you are a student anywhere you go is your ISIC!
