- Identify the authorised representative in your organisation. The person who can officially act on behalf of your organisation to accept the legal documents (Privacy Statement and Joint Controllership Arrangement) and Terms and Conditions of use upon registration in the ESC-R.
- Register to the ESC-Router. The authorised representative completes the registration request. Once the helpdesk has validated the request, they will receive an e-mail with an invitation to access the ESC-Router.
- Log into the ESC-Router. You can use your EU Login or MyAcademicID account or create a new account if you don’t have one.
- Connect your organisation to the ESC-Router. The authorised representative must accept the legal documents in the ESC-R so that additional users can be granted access to the organisation account to issue and manage ESCs.
- Register the data of your students' cards. Upload the data of your students' cards to the ESC-Router through one of the available options (API, user interface, CSV)
- Add the ESC logo. Add the new ESC logo to your students’ cards. If you have remaining holograms from SELP, they will be valid until 31 December 2027. As of 1 January 2028, only ESCs with the new logo will be valid.
