How do I get an ID student card?

INSTRUCTIONS FROM 2025-2026 TAUi Online Handbook

Student ID

  • Necessary to everyone (PhD, postdocs, employees...) for everything in your life in TAU, also to have a gmail account, set or change the password, and subscriptions, carousel entrances etc...
  • PhDs can activate their ID number and request a card through MyTAU portal, while postdocs have a slightly different procedure (see below). It has been reported that in order to obtain the card, one needs to pay 25NIS. After the payment, the procedure to get the card starts.
  • Generally, the Student Union is responsible for providing the students in TAU with a magnetic ID student card.
  • With an active student ID you can request the independent access to your building from the Av'Habait employees, the security and maintenance employees.

IMPORTANT: the card will be generally issued only once (unless you lose it) but its validity is only one year (current academic year). You should be able to get a sticker for the next academic year (around October) that needs to be attached on the back of the card. It can come to your apartment, via physical mail, or it can be request at the same offices dealing with the cards.

IMPORTANT(2): in order to enter the carousels of the university (at any time, without the guard checking) you need to have the new card with the chip, available since 2023-2024. In this case, you need to ask permission for a specific gate by contacting Itsik Fersht, Engineering and Maintenance division, based at the University warehouse (itsikf@tauex.tau.ac.il). Similarly, the entrance to the Green House (the building where the International school is) is done by passing the ID student card with the chip at the gate.

The POST-DOCs can get an ID card with the following procedure:

1. Go to Mytau portal: https://mytau.tau.ac.il/

2. Click on: ืขื“ื›ื•ืŸ ืคืจื˜ื™ื ืื™ืฉื™ื™ื . For English, hover with your mouse over the Hebrew text.


3. In the screen that opens; to change the language to English, click on “Change Language” (top left corner of the screen).

4. Now your personal details will appear on the screen.


To order your postdoc card click Order Post-doc Card>>

5. When the postdoc card arrives at the research department offices, you will receive an update.

Ms. Raya Lipcer (rayalipc@tauex.tau.ac.il), from the University Senate, is the contact responsible to provide you the ID card, the proof of study for the discount of the transportation, and the carousel access.

Tips for Housing

Dormitories around the university: Broshim and Einstein NOTE: the company that used to run Milman, Brodetzky and Ra'anana Dorms has sold out its properties, therefore the information you can find on their website can be outdated. Additionally, we have been reported that Brodetzky dorms no longer accept foreign tenants. Broshim enrollment To add your name in the Broshim waiting list:  https://forms.monday.com/forms/8a08dde9b3f31642670c466546e7ee24?r=use1 Please note: there is a waiting list active all over the year and tenant initiatives are not considered, which means no subletting and no swapping of rooms. Only the Housing team can deal with these things. When you need replacement, the TAU housing office will deal with that. Please note: the rental contract requires the tenant to renew the contract every year. If a tenant has to leave before the end of the contract, they need to find a substitution. This is true for ALL of the dorms. You can also contact the TAU office for housi...

The situation in Israel and various links

 Dear all, in these hours we are all experiencing a stressful and uneasy situation, as the prime minister of Israel has declared war on Hamas (and Gaza strip) on 07.10.23. Unfortunately, this conflict might last several days (or more) and many of us decided to leave the country to be safe. The situation keeps changing in any moment, therefore the ones among us who stay here need to be extremely careful. This, on the other hand, doesn't mean that we are segregated in our little rooms or apartments.  The university is open to the researchers and provides a series of  emotional support services, and it has strong shelter in the basement of every building. Therefore, you can still try to get to the uni and give yourself a sense of routine. You might also find your peers. If not, you should not feel guilty for staying at home, it is more than understandable and my personal suggestion is not to be alone, but maybe team up with one or two friends and consider staying together fo...

Latest News on Visa Status (20.09.22)

LAST UPDATE(28.09.22): the visas expiring in this period are automatically elongated till the end of November 2022. This automatic extension DOES NOT entitle the multi entry stamp, which needs to be required via the Visa request form , linked below. Note that the ministry of interior does not accept anymore private appointment scheduling, therefore the appointment must be taken by going through TAU international office. Dear TAU community , We hope this email finds you well. As many of you know, The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently on strike, meaning some Israeli consulates/embassies around the world are not issuing visas, and the Ministry of Interior in Israel is overwhelmed by visa requests. We are aware of the inconvenience this causes our incoming and current students, and we are working hard to try and find solutions to each case. In order to provide support, we are collecting information from our students and scholars, regarding their visa situation. If you are ...
