Student ID Card – Upload a Photograph

Once you have enrolled online, you will be asked to upload a photo for your Student ID card and Virtual ID card. Your Virtual ID card will appear on the MyBolton Mobile app, which you should download as soon as you can. You can collect your physical ID card from the Student Centre once your enrolment has been completed and your ID has been verified. We will let you know how we will do this. Please make sure your photo is similar to a passport-style photograph of yourself.

To do this, follow the step-by-step process detailed in the following link https://photouploader.greatermanchester.ac.uk/.

The photograph will be used to produce your University Student ID card and Virtual Student ID Card on MyBolton. If you require any help or assistance regarding uploading your photograph, please read the Frequently Asked Questions located at https://photouploader.greatermanchester.ac.uk/ or email the Student Advisors at uploadphoto@greatermanchester.ac.uk

ID Check

Once you have completed enrolment, you will be asked to upload a copy of your ID. We need to see this to make sure you have the right to study in the UK and confirm your attendance to Student Finance England.

UK Students or EU Students with Pre-Settled or Settled Status

You will be asked to upload proof of your identity in the form of a valid Passport, a valid UK Driving Licence or a valid photo card from an EU Country. If you cannot provide a valid ID at this time, you will not be able to receive your student ID card, access certain University facilities, or attend classes until you do so. EU students should have already provided evidence of their settlement status in the UK, confirming their ‘Home’ fee status to our Admissions Team. However, if this is still required you will be asked for this separately.
