Católica ID Card: One card, countless benefits and discounts

In order for students newly arrived at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP) to access all buildings and enjoy all the services the university has to offer, it is necessary to obtain a Católica ID card.

Mandatory and free of charge, the card must be requested by students after completing their enrolment. They can choose between a UCP card with banking facilities or a card used solely as identification.

To obtain the Católica ID Card, students can apply online, via Chave Móvel Digital, or in person at the service desks, upon presentation of: Identification document (ID card, Citizen Card, other), their Tax Identification Number, and proof of payment of tuition fees for the 2025/26 academic year or, alternatively, proof of address (in the case of students from Lisbon).
