New Students

Proof of Identity

Proof of Identity – acceptable documents

There are two stages to complete before you are formally registered as a Bangor University Student. The first stage is the on-line enrolment process and then for stage two, you must provide the University with proof of your identity. Once these two stages have been completed successfully you will receive your Student Identity card and will be formally registered. Do not send these documents in to us, but please have them ready for checking at your appointment time. International students will need to provide the documents listed in Section A. UK and EU students will need to provide either one document from Section B or two documents from Section C. Please note that students whose courses are not based in Bangor (e.g. distance learners and some part-time students) are requested to upload copies of the relevant documents as part of the on-line enrolment process.

Please use your Bangor University username in order to make the appointment.

Please note that those students who are continuing on their current course do not need to make an appointment for an ID check.

If you are a Bangor graduate, and you are commenncing a new course in September, you will need to complete an online ID Check.

Students from UK can make an appointment for an online ID check here:
