Request your UCP Identification Card now

In order for newly-arrived students at the Universidade Católica to be able to access all the buildings and take advantage of all the services the university has to offer, they need to get a UCP identification card.

The card is mandatory and free of charge, and students must request it once they have completed their enrolment. They can choose between a UCP card with a banking component, or just as an identification card.

As well as guaranteeing discounts in the canteen and bookshop, access to spaces, book and other publication loans, and the use of self-service photocopiers, this card also has the advantages of banking functionality, if the student chooses to activate this feature.

To obtain the Católica Identification Card, students can request it online via the Digital Mobile Key by clicking here. Alternatively, students can request their card in person, at the counters for this purpose, by presenting an identification document (ID, Citizen's Card, other), their Tax Identification Number, and proof of payment of their tuition fees for the 2023/24 academic year.
