Multicard provides ID service for Australia’s Student Flights travel agency

Friday, August 19, 2011

The youth-oriented Australian travel agency - Student Flights - has selected Multicard to provide identity management services for the verification and issuance of International Student Exchange student ID cards.

Student Flights, a division of Brisbane-based Flight Centre Limited, has 50 stores across Australia all of which are authorized issuing agents for the internationally recognized International Student Exchange card.


For Student Flights, Multicard has implemented a secure online portal for data collection, verification of applicants’ age and status as students or teachers, and card issuance by Multicard’s secure card production bureau.

Once a Student Flights staff member has captured all of the relevant information about a student and entered it into Multicard’s portal, Multicard verifies the data and produces the card, which can then be mailed directly to the student or delivered to the Student Flights sales office for pick-up.

In addition to serving as an ID credential for student travel and work, the International Student Exchange cards also entitles discounts worldwide on flights and rail passes, food and dining, hotels and hostels, as well as emergency assistance while traveling. [end]
