Almost every member of the University has a university ID (the matriculation number) that generally speaking is used as an identification for user services, such as logins, e-mail, campus Wi-Fi and so on.

Employees with a contract at the University of Duisburg-Essen can apply for one at the Centre for Information and Media Services (ZIM). Doctoral candidates receive their university ID automatically when they enrol.

For guest researchers who are neither emoloyees nor students, the inviting institute can request a university ID by filling a form (PDF).

University members usually receive a university ID card. It also serves as library ID and a dining hall card (which guarantees reduced prices in the dining halls and cafeterias run by Student Services).

Students receive the card automatically at enrollment.

Most employees at the UDE receive a University ID Card (Dienstausweis). On the website of the human resources department you will find some details and contacts. More information can also be found on the FAQ website.

If you are neither enrolled nor an employee, you can receive a visitor's ID card. Please contact the Welcome Service for details.
