VIENNA, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In April 2026, the Republic of Austria announced the successful rollout of a nation–wide digital student identification card. This newest digital document was delivered by youniqx Identity, the specialised digital ID subsidiary of the Austrian State Printing Company (OSD), for the Austrian Federal Computing Centre (BRZ). The new digital student ID is integrated into the existing 'eAusweise' ecosystem and is available to all higher–education students at universities or colleges.

An innovative, student–focused solution

The digital student ID consolidates the personal data from physical student cards into a secure electronic credential usable as a digital ID card. Holders can display and use the card through the 'eAusweise' app via their smartphone, while verification is possible both within the same app and via the anonymous peer–to–peer 'eAusweis Check' solution. Acceptance and specific use cases remain the responsibility of each autonomous public university, ensuring flexibility across Austria's higher–education landscape.

The successful delivery marks the newest addition of digital ID documents developed by youniqx Identity for the eAusweise app. "The rollout of the digital student ID demonstrates how youniqx Identity can deliver individually adapted solutions to current public–sector and customer needs," underlines Sebastian Zehetbauer, CEO of youniqx Identity.
