International Student Identity Card
The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is a useful document for traveling junior high school, high school, college, university, or vocational school students. The ISIC is administered internationally by the International Student Travel Confederation.
The ISIC is the most widely accepted form of student ID card. While your regular student ID may or may not be recognized when traveling abroad, the ISIC is accepted as proof of student status in more than ninety countries around the world.
