How to apply for a TU-ID for guests and partners

Individuals who are neither employees nor students at TU Darmstadt may receive a TU-ID based on a guest contract if there is a legitimate interest in accessing the IT systems of TU Darmstadt.

If only internet access is required, please apply for a WLAN visitor account and not a guest contract. This can be requested in the IDM portal in the menu area “WLAN visitor” (WLAN Besucher).

Who can receive a guest contract?

Individuals with interests that justify TU identification:

  • external doctoral students doing research at TU Darmstadt departments
  • student assistants from other universities who work for a TU Darmstadt institution
  • research partners, guest professors, emeriti
  • members of “Vereinigung von Freunden der Technischen Universität zu Darmstadt E.V.”

How can a TU ID be requested for a guest?

As an employee of the TU Darmstadt, you can apply for a guest contract for your guests. Being the applicant, you are

  • the according contact person,

  • you verify the identity of your future guests by checking their ID card.
