For school administrators, issuing traditional student ID cards is often time-consuming and resource-intensive. Thankfully, with ID123’s cloud-based ID Management System (IDMS), school administrators can easily customize, issue, and manage digital student ID cards online. Not only do these digital IDs streamline the process, but they also serve multiple purposes—acting as bus passes, and enabling attendance tracking at classes and events, all through a mobile app.

Customization for Mobile Student ID Cards

With the IDMS, school administrators can design custom ID cards by incorporating their school’s logo, adjusting colors, and personalizing fonts and backgrounds to align with the school’s branding. This ensures that each mobile student ID card represents the unique identity of the institution.

How to Issue Mobile Student ID Cards

Issuing mobile student ID cards is simple with the IDMS. School administrators can issue digital IDs via email directly to students. Students can upload or take their own ID photos, which school administrators can review and approve based on the school’s guidelines. This seamless process saves time and eliminates the need for in-person distribution of student IDs.

Managing Digital Student IDs with Ease

The IDMS allows school administrators to manage issued ID cards with ease. They can set expiration dates, add security questions, and temporarily deactivate or revoke IDs as needed. This ensures that only valid and up-to-date digital student ID cards are active, enhancing overall campus security.

Digitizing Bus Passes for Students

Another advantage of digital student ID cards is their ability to serve as digital bus passes for campus shuttles and public transit. Instead of waiting in long lines to collect a physical bus pass, students can simply access their bus pass on their mobile ID card, streamlining campus transportation and improving student convenience.

Taking Attendance at Classes and Events

Each digital student ID card comes equipped with a unique, auto-generated barcode. Professors and event coordinators can easily scan the barcode to track attendance. The barcode scanner system integrates with third-party attendance tracking software, making it simple to record and monitor student participation at classes and events.

Digital ID Cards for Teachers and Parents

In addition to digital student ID cards, ID123 allows school administrators to issue mobile ID cards to teachers and parents. Parents can self-issue their IDs by uploading their own photos and completing the required fields. This not only streamlines identification but also enhances campus security by allowing schools to issue temporary digital IDs for events and meetings.
