How to Download IGNOU ID Card Online (Official Method)

IGNOU issues a digital identity card after your admission is confirmed. You can log in any time and download the IGNOU ID Card PDF from the official portal. The portal design may change, but the basic steps usually remain similar to the flow below.

1

Visit the official IGNOU admission / Samarth portal

Open the same IGNOU admission website where you filled your form (Samarth / online admission portal). Always use the link available through ignou.ac.in instead of random links from social media.

2

Log in with your registered credentials

Click on Login and enter your username or enrolment number, password and captcha. If you do not remember the password, use the “Forgot Password” option and reset it using your email or mobile.

3

Go to “My Documents / ID Card” section

After login, your dashboard will show admission details. Look for a link labelled “ID Card” or “Download ID” under the documents or profile section and click it.

4

Download the IGNOU ID Card PDF

The system will generate your IGNOU ID Card with photo, enrolment number and QR code in PDF format. Use the download icon in your browser or mobile to save it. Rename the file clearly, for example IGNOU-ID-Card-YourName.pdf.

5

Open the PDF using your password

In most sessions, the ID card PDF is password-protected. The default password is usually your Date of Birth in DDMMYYYY format. Enter it to unlock and verify all details.

6

Keep both soft copy and physical card

Save the digital copy on your phone and cloud drive. Print it on paper for backup or convert it into a strong PVC card using the IGNOU Galaxy service above so that you never worry about damaged printouts.

Why Your IGNOU ID Card Matters

Many distance learners download the IGNOU ID card once and forget about it. In reality, this single document works as your official identity proof inside the university system.

  • Entry for Term-End Exams: Invigilators may ask for your IGNOU ID card along with the hall ticket while allowing you into the exam hall.
  • Assignment & project submissions: Study centres often verify your enrolment number and programme using the ID card when accepting assignments or projects.
  • Library & counselling sessions: Many centres require the ID card for issuing books, attending practicals or counselling classes.
  • Support and grievance redressal: When you raise a complaint about results or admission, regional centres may ask for a scanned copy of your ID card.
  • Professional presentation: A neat PVC IGNOU ID card looks more organised and is easier to carry than a folded paper printout, especially if you show it at your workplace.

IGNOU ID Card Download & PVC Printing – FAQs

1. How can I download my IGNOU ID Card?

Visit the official IGNOU admission / Samarth portal, log in with your username or enrolment number and open the “ID Card” or “My Documents” section. Click on the ID Card link and download the PDF to your device.

2. What is the password for the IGNOU ID Card PDF?

Usually, the password is your Date of Birth in DDMMYYYY format. For example, if your DOB is 14 March 1997, the password will be 14031997.

3. Is the digital IGNOU ID card (in mobile) enough for exams?

In many centres, the digital ID shown on your phone is accepted along with another photo ID. However, carrying a printed or PVC IGNOU ID card is safer because you are not dependent on battery, internet or screen issues on the exam day.

4. How does the IGNOU Galaxy PVC ID Card service work?

After you download your IGNOU ID Card, place an order using the link above and upload your e-ID. Our team designs and prints it on 0.8 mm PVC with rounded edges and then ships it to your address. Normal delivery time is around 4–5 days depending on your pincode.

5. Is the PVC IGNOU ID card officially issued by the university?

The official ID is the digital card generated by IGNOU’s own portal. A PVC card is a high-quality printed version of the same details for convenience. Both carry the same enrolment number, name, programme and photograph taken from your official e-ID.

6. My photo or name on the ID card is wrong. What should I do?

If any detail on your IGNOU ID card is incorrect, contact your regional centre or raise a ticket via the official support channels before printing a PVC card. Once the university corrects the record, download the updated ID card and then proceed for PVC printing.
