3. Log in to the karty.slu.cz using your CRO username and password, use the same way of logging to an e-mail account (university email) or to an information system.
4. Select "Request a new card" from the menu in the right column. You cannot submit application if you have already been issued (in the past) with a card that is still active (card in circulation). You can't submit two applications at once. Wait until the application is processed or contact karty (at) slu.cz
- Check the accuracy of your data
- Select the type of a card (if the card you selected is not in the menu, you are not entitled to apply for this type of card)
- Select the place of issue of the card
- Load a photo edited according to all the parameters described above.
5. To continue further, you must agree to provide personal data and a photo to SU.
6. After submitting the application, wait for the confirmation that will come to your university e-mail within 2 working days.
7. After receiving the confirmation, log in to the karty.slu.cz – payment instructions are displayed in the payment section.
- Payment can only be made cashless
- Before sending the payment, make sure that you have inserted the variable and specific symbol correctly.
- If you do not insert it correctly or at all, your payment may not be traced.
- If the payment is not credited to our account within 30 days, your application will be cancelled and the card will not be produced for you.
- Within five working days of the payment being credited to our account, we will send you a confirmation of receipt of the payment to the university e-mail. If you do not receive this confirmation within 8 working days of entering the payment (3 working days for payment transfer + 5 working days to send the confirmation), please contact karty (at) slu.cz.
- You can follow the progress of the production of your card at karty.slu.cz.
- As soon as your card is ready for issue, you will receive an e-mail with this information. The standard production time of the ID card takes 5 working days. Currently there is only one card printer available that is very faulty, so the production of the card may be delayed. We are working hard to address the situation and 2 new printers will be available soon, but the process of purchasing and implementing these devices is very challenging. Please be patient.
Cards are produced only after the payment has been credited to our account. - Each applicant must pick up the card in person, not through a third person. The card cannot be sent by post.
