EUI Partner Card (by EUI4U Welcome)

Researchers and post-doctoral fellows (including visiting students and visiting fellows registered with an EUI department or centre) may apply at the EUI4U Unit for an Institute partner card for their partner provided their stay is for more than one month.


How to request a Partner Card


The researcher or post-doctoral fellow must fill in the application form (PDF) and return it to the EUI4U Unit together with a digital photo (passport-type) of their spouse/partner. The application form and photo are to be sent to the following email address: [email protected].

Minimum requirements for EUI card personal picture

EUI applies the International Standard ISO/IEC 19794-5 to personal pictures collection in order to ensure consistency and efficiency in the large amount of EUI cards released.Before sending to the relevant contact point at EUI, the picture intended to be printed onto your EUI card, please make sure the picture does respect the following:

  • Photos must be 35mm width and 45 mm height;
  • Face should take approximately 70-80% of the rectangle;
  • Resolution should be 300dpi (pixel per inch)
  • The background be plain, uniform, and light-colored an should be free of any patterns or shadows. The recommended colors for the background are white, off-white, or a very light gray tone; the background should also be free of any objects or other people

Please note that EUI card service can support you in taking the picture (or minor editing) directly at Badia Fiesolana control room at any time.

Renewal of the card is by re-applying on the same terms at the start of each academic year, and filling in the application form, but it is not necessary to re-send a photo. After the renewal request is duly completed and processed, the old expired card is automatically reactivated (the REF Service will not issue a new card for renewals).

 

Card Collection


Once the card is issued, a notification will be sent to the researcher or fellow via email from the EUI Real Estate and Facilities Service - EUI4U Unit, and it can be picked up from the EUI4U Welcome Office.

There is no cost for the first issue of a partner card. However, if the card is lost, stolen or damaged, there will be a fee of € 5.00 for replacing it (Please note: the fee is waived in case the card is stolen, but only providing a copy of the Police statement).
