About ISIC
The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) Association is a member of the ISTC (International Student Travel Confederation), a not-for-profit organisation which brings together world-leading specialists in student and youth travel services.
ISIC Maldives is run by Laniakea Education, and cards are distributed under the auspice of the ISIC Association.
The International Student Identity Card
The ISIC Association’s main product is the ISIC card, the only internationally accepted proof of full-time student status. It is endorsed by organisations such as UNESCO, the European Council on Culture and the Andean Community of Nations. The card is recognised by universities, academic institutions, student organisations, national governments and ministries of education around the world.
ISIC Card Distribution
ISIC cards are distributed in 130 countries through a network of Licensed Authorities, which are usually leading student travel organisations or student unions.
In each country, these Licensed Authorities are exclusively responsible for ISIC card sales, distribution and marketing, as well as for building and managing the portfolio of benefits in that country. ISIC cards are issued through Licensed Authorities’ own branches, and through distribution partnerships with other organisations (Appointed Offices) such as universities and banks.
The holder of the License Authority in Maldives is Laniakea Education. They are the organisation that distributes the cards in Maldives.
In countries without a Licensed Authority, the ISIC card is distributed through Appointed Offices only, which are directly managed by the management organisation IAS in The Netherlands.
