Medical ID Cards: A Guide to Informing Others About Your Health Condition

Looking for a specific condition? Jump straight to it using the A–Z list below or the image grid above.

We print medical ID cards and awareness cards for the conditions listed below. All are credit-card sized, made from biodegradable plastic, and, where possible, dispatched in 24 hours (Monday–Friday).

The aim is simple: give people the information they need without you having to repeat yourself. Order online; customise your card, and preview it on screen before you buy.

We’ve been printing these cards from our UK office since 2011 – over 10,000 cards a year.

Why people carry a medical ID card

  • Everyday situations (shops, public transport, school runs)

  • Medical appointments – hand it over instead of starting from scratch

  • Emergencies – first responders see the essentials fast

We hear the same thing again and again: once someone starts carrying one, they don’t leave home without it.

Not sure which card to choose?

Our most popular option are the Premium Photo Medical ID Cards (£10.99) – they give the most information plus a second photo on the back. Because they look official, people take them more seriously.

Many people also add a single-sided awareness card (£4.99) to hand over quickly in busy places. Sometimes a visual message is the best.

The cards we offer

Card Type Sides Photo Price Best for
Mono Double No £4.99 Budget or low-light readability
Basic Double No £6.99 Everyday carry
Photo Double Yes £6.99 Quick visual identification
Premium Photo Double Yes £10.99 Maximum information + second photo on back

Awareness cards (single-sided, non-personalised)

£4.99 each – bold picture cards that get the message across quickly.

Custom medical ID cards

Our Custom Medical Cards give you the flexibility to choose exactly what you want to say.

  • Single-sided custom – £6.99

  • Double-sided custom – £7.99 Add multiple conditions, specific instructions, or change the layout.

FAQ

Is a medical ID card better than a bracelet?

Both work, but cards hold more information and are easier to update. Many people carry one of each.

Will hospitals or paramedics find them helpful?

Yes. They’re not official NHS cards, but they’re designed to be read quickly and clearly in an emergency.

Can one card cover multiple conditions?

The designs you see are preset so can't be changed but we offer custom medical cards where you can add everything you need.

What about hidden disabilities?

We cover them extensively – autism, anxiety, PTSD, fibromyalgia, and many more. We also offer a range of Hidden Disability Cards for those people who don't want to shout about their condition.

Are the cards single- or double-sided?

Standard medical ID cards are double-sided. Awareness cards are single-sided. Custom lets you choose.

How do I add my condition if it’s not listed?

Email theteam@thecardproject.uk – if we can add it we will!

What’s the turnaround?

Dispatched in 24 hours (weekdays) + normal post time.

Do you send a proof by email?

No – you see an instant preview on screen before you pay.

Can I order just one card?

Yes, no minimum order.

Are the cards waterproof?

They’re wipe-clean and durable, but not fully waterproof.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, worldwide shipping available at checkout.
