When to apply for a duplicate ID card
Your college ID card is usually needed to enter the campus, issue library books, take exams and get concessions. If it is lost, stolen or damaged, apply for a duplicate quickly so you do not face problems in exams or at the gate.
The application states when and where you lost it, your card number if you remember it, and asks for a duplicate. Asking the college to block the old card in its records helps prevent misuse.
Documents usually attached
- Two recent passport-size photographs
- Copy of your fee receipt
- Copy of an FIR or online lost report, if your college asks for one
- The damaged card, if it is damaged
Many colleges charge a small fee for a duplicate card. Check with your college office.
