University Photo ID Cards That Look the Part Without the Pressure

Not everyone heading to university is there to study. Some people are just there to play the role—literally. Whether it’s for a school play, a comedy sketch, a fancy dress party or a creative project, our University Student Photo ID Card brings a bit of believable detail to your character or costume. It looks like something you’d get from a real university, but it’s made for fun, not function.

Fellbarrow University doesn’t exist. But it sounds like it could. That’s part of the appeal. Our card is designed to give off the right impression without any of the responsibility. It’s ideal for theatre props, cosplay outfits, film and television extras, or just a bit of novelty fun at home or with friends.

Realistic University Student ID Card Features for Props or Play

Our card includes a full-colour photo, the name of the student, their date of birth, student number, mode of study, course level, and a realistic expiry date. It also features a barcode, a magnetic strip, and a signature strip on the back. The front carries the fictional logo for Fellbarrow University, helping sell the idea even further.

Everything is laid out in a format you’d expect from a real student ID. That’s what makes it ideal for use in low-budget theatre shows, amateur films, or student projects. It helps add detail that makes a scene feel more grounded and believable, without needing access to an actual university system.

The layout has been designed to mimic the look of real university ID cards. The balance between professional-looking design and harmless novelty is what makes it work.

University Student ID Cards Made from Quality Materials

Just like all our products at The Card Project UK, our card is made from biodegradable plastic. It’s the same size and shape as a standard credit card, so it fits easily in a wallet or lanyard holder. We’ve made sure the quality is there—just because it’s a novelty doesn’t mean it should feel cheap or flimsy.

The material feels like a proper ID card because we use the same approach we take with all our custom cards. That’s why our card is so popular with drama clubs, youth groups, media students and film hobbyists. It’s easy to carry, won’t snap or crease like paper props, and can be reused for future projects.

Customisable Student Photo ID Cards for Any Character or Role

One of the best parts about ordering from The Card Project UK is how easy it is to personalise our card. You can upload a photo, add your name, date of birth and expiry date. Whether you’re creating a student identity for a stage role or making a joke gift for a friend, it’s simple to make it your own.

Because the design is fictional, there’s no issue with using it for entertainment or fun. It looks the part for those moments where a realistic touch helps bring a scene to life.

Fun Uses for a University Student Photo ID Card

There are loads of reasons someone might want a fake university ID. And we’ve seen people come up with all sorts of creative uses for our card over the years.

Some order it as a joke birthday gift. Others use it as part of a Halloween costume or to complete a look for a themed party. Amateur film-makers love how it looks good on camera. We’ve also had customers buy them for drama school auditions or college productions, where a realistic student prop helps make the setting feel more convincing.

Kids love it too. For them, having their own student ID can feel like being grown up. It’s a bit of harmless fun, and it encourages role play and storytelling. Parents often buy it for children who wonder what university life might be like. It’s a fun way to explore that world, without needing to pack a bag and move into halls.
