How to order a MDU card with a photo

MDU cards without a photo will stop working on April 1st. Therefore, you need to order a new one by March 24th to continue accessing the Eskilstuna and Västerås campuses at all times (and to be able to ride the MDU bus).

Before placing your order, you need to take a photo of yourself that meets the criteria. If you have difficulty finding a good neutral background, there is a wall set up at the Student Square in Eskilstuna and Västerås where you can take a photo with your mobile camera.

The photo should be taken straight on so that both eyes are clearly visible and the entire head is included.

Other criteria for the photo:

  • It should match your appearance and the face should be evenly lit.
  • It should have a light background, without shadows and without distracting background elements.
  • If you wear glasses, no light reflection should obscure the eyes. Sunglasses are not allowed.
  • It should be in color and the focus of the photo should be on the face.
  • You must not wear a cap, hat, or similar. Religious head coverings are allowed, but the entire face must be clearly visible.

The photo for the MDU card must meet the criteria, and the image shows an approved example.

Order the MDU card in the order form by March 24th

You order the MDU card and upload your photo in the order form. You must have placed the order by March 24th to receive it before the old one stops working.

Pick up your new MDU card

Once your card is produced you will receive a confirmation email. It will state when the card is expected to delivered and can be picked up at the Student Centre on the campus you chose. You should bring your current MDU card and valid identification when you pick up your new one. Digital ID does not work!

Note! You will not receive any notification when the MDU card is ready, so you are responsible for picking it up after the time stated in the confirmation!

Why are we doing this?

The change is part of MDU's ongoing efforts to enhance security. The new MDU cards will remove the personal number and replace it with a photograph. The change also includes a new design concept and updated functionality.
