ID-Card Upload for International Students

With your photo – as long as it is good quality – we will create your student ID card! You will receive your student ID card at the beginning of your first theoretical semester at DHBW Heidenheim.

Please enter your date of birth (Geburtsdatum) and student number (Matrikelnummer). You can find your student number on your enrollment form. Then you can send your identification photo to DHBW Heidenheim.


*The Photo you send should have an approximate size ratio of 2:3 (width:height).
*Optimal size for the photo is 220x300 Pixels.

Notice for Data Security

Your passport photo will only be used by the DHBW for internal matters. We will assume you consent to this unless we hear otherwise.

Notice for the Photo

Your student ID card, with this photo, accompanies you for the time you study at DHBW – and if you stay for an internship then we will extend the validity of the student card for the duration of the internship as well. The face should therefore be well lit and photographed against a neutral bright background. The use of special effect lighting and filters is not permitted. There should also be minimal shadows showing on the background. If the photo does not match our standards, no ID card will be created from it.

File: gif/png /jpg/jpeg, at least 220 pixels * 300 pixels, maximum file size: 10 MB

Problems with Logging in or Uploading

If you have uploaded a photo and DHBW-Heidenheim has already created your ID card with it, then you will no longer be able to upload a (newer or better) photo.

Please enter the date of birth in the form of YYYY-MM-DD.

If the upload does not work, then please contact us with the following email: ausweisbilder@dhbw-heidenheim.de beim Zentralen Sektreteriatsservice.

If you need a replacement for your first card, in the case of loss or inappropriate treatment, you will be charged a fee of EUR 18.
