Congratulations on your admission to the Faculty of Physics (FF) of Vilnius University (VU)! We are delighted that you have joined the active and diverse community of our Faculty. To help you get into the study process, we have prepared a memo with the most important information you need to start your studies.
Lithuanian Student Identity Card (LSIC)
When a student enters into a contract with a university, the information is forwarded to the body responsible for the production of the Lithuanian Student Identity Card (LSIC) within 2 to 3 weeks from the date of the contract. After a couple of weeks, it is possible to start checking the https://lsp.lt/en system to see if the data has already been uploaded and to order the LSIC.
To order a LSIC, the following steps are required:
- Register in the LSIC system (https://lsp.lt/en) and order a new LSIC;
- After selecting a delivery address, you need to choose preferred way for the delivery of the LSIC.
The LSIC is produced within 1-2 weeks after the order has been placed and the photo has been confirmed as suitable for LSIC production.
When the LSIC is ready, a notification is sent to the email address provided during registration. You can also log in to your account in the system to see the status of the LSIC.
The LSIC is required to access student discounts and the resources of the Vilnius University Library. You also need to present your LSIC (ISIC international student card is not suitable for this purpose) between 9:00 pm and 9:00 am in order to access the VU Library's 24-hour branch in Sunrise - Scholarly Communication and Information Centre (SCIC).
In autumn, the production of LSICs may take longer than scheduled.
Have any questions? Contact the VU Students' Representation, which takes care of the LSIC issue and return process.
