Yes. The collectible holograms we sell on our website are no different from those you receive at higher education institutions in Poland. They have the same color, size, and design of the Polish eagle, and a laser-cut expiration date. They are protected with “honey plastic” to prevent them from being removed again. The holograms on the ID card that we have are compliant with all regulations of the Ministry of National Education (Ministerstwo Edukacji Narodowej). All our collectible ELS holograms are genuine and identical to those from the dean’s office of each university. Since we only have the original holograms from virtually all universities in the country, and we always choose identical stickers to maintain the continuity and authenticity of the collection, you don’t have to worry about matching the collectible hologram to your collection.
If you want your collectible sticker to match other items, please send us photos of your previous stickers. Our professional ELS sticker collectors can easily match you with the appropriate hologram sticker, which we will send to you. With us, you don’t have to worry that a given sticker might not match other items. We guarantee 100% quality and the perfect match of the new ELS hologram to any collection. We offer stickers that match the patterns of all universities.
Every new ELS sticker 31-03-2020 in our offer has a specially engraved serial number – it has 8 digits, of which the first three are an individual number for each university. We have holograms for almost all codes for all higher education institutions. We can easily match the sticker for you too. We will help every customer who wants to match their sticker to their already collected collection by choosing the right sticker.
Yes, purchasing ELS collector's holograms does not constitute a violation of the law. Buying an ELS hologram for identification purposes is entirely legal. Likewise, selling, purchasing, or possessing it, as long as you do not use it for other purposes such as showing it to the person who issues the document confirming your student status. In the event that the sticker on the identification card with the current date only serves as another piece of evidence in your collection, you can rest assured and not worry that you are violating the law; collecting ELS holograms is comparable to collecting postage stamps and is not in any way a violation of the law. Many collectors who purchase such stamps want to remember their blissful student days or are simply philatelic fanatics.
Our holograms are collectible holograms. If you apply such a hologram, for example, to a student ID card, as long as it is not intended to violate the law (i.e., using such a counterfeit document as authentic), and only for the purpose of collecting it – it is legally permissible. It is only inadmissible to use such an ID card as authentic and to derive benefits from it.
No, unfortunately it is not safe. People who make sales on such portals can often sell you a product that does not match the confirmed description on the website or your personal requirements, especially if it is collectible ELS holograms. It is better to purchase a student sticker from companies that professionally deal with such sales. Then you will not have any concerns that its design or date will not match the one you originally ordered. Moreover, a company like ours does not share or process your personal data, so you have a full sense of security and anonymity.
You can pay for holograms in the following ways:
When ordering online, we always ask for a photo of the stickers you have so that we can match them to the collection. Because sometimes collectors themselves can collect stickers from different sources and universities – and we want to ensure that the collection is consistent with the one already owned.
Yes. Given the fact that there are scammers selling on various websites, we want you to feel safe and confident that our ELS hologram package will arrive to you in the same condition as it should. That is why we offer a click and collect delivery option, which allows payment upon receipt.
If you place an order by 18:00 on working days, we will send the hologram the same day. Orders placed in the evening are usually delivered the next day. As a rule, courier deliveries are same-day (max 2 days), and parcel lockers are also 1-2 business days. If you are from Warsaw – the parcel locker is always same-day. Alternatively, you can also pick it up in person throughout the day (including weekends). It is important to include all necessary details for shipping in your order.
After generating the shipping document, you will receive a notification via email with information about the status of your shipment.
In such a case, we strongly urge you to contact us via email and report the issue immediately. Our company will resolve the situation as quickly and conveniently as possible for you. We fully understand such situations, but they are not entirely within our control, so we kindly request that you send us a quick message and everything will be resolved as quickly as possible (including the replacement of the damaged collector’s hologram).
Yes. We accept returns of undamaged holograms.
If the hologram purchased has a different font, we will replace it with another model free of charge.
There are many websites that offer cheaper sales of ELS collector holograms. They have interesting descriptions and realistic photos that encourage their audience to use their range. However, one should be careful, because many of them intend to deceive the customer, especially during the October or March periods, when the demand is much higher than in other months, and collectors are looking for stickers on the ID card with a valid date to enrich their collections. Very often, the photos of the holograms deviate significantly from reality. The holograms are not genuine, they do not meet the guidelines of the Regulation of the Minister of Higher Education. They are of unknown origin, and the quality of workmanship indicates that they are Chinese fakes. The cheaper price results from the fact that non-original holograms are made in violation of the guidelines of the Ministry of Higher Education (formerly MEN), and therefore their quality leaves much to be desired (they can reflect unnatural light, do not have the RP mark, and sometimes even the eagle). You are buying a fully original copy from us that is no different from the holograms issued at the deaneries of higher education institutions in Poland. Some pseudo sellers extort data without intending to perform shipping. Moreover, they very rarely offer payment upon delivery, which should already make you think whether it is really a person from whom you can physically purchase the item. Often, on Allegro or OLX, counterfeit products are sold that do not even resemble the original issued at higher education institutions across Poland. With us, you have the opportunity to see the hologram in person, and therefore you are not buying a “dummy product”. Furthermore, we allow cash on delivery shipping with verification of the contents. The numerous satisfied collectors are the best proof of the high quality of our collector's items.
Yes, each university uses holograms on the ELS ID card. The stickers should have a size of 9mm x 10mm.
We only have original collector's holograms (they meet all the requirements of the Ministry of Education/Higher Education contained in the regulation), so they are identical to those in the deaneries and are no different in any way. Aside from the purpose of acquiring them (buying them from us solely for collecting purposes).
Some holograms are different from each other, so we always ask the collector to send a photo of the ELS stickers they have or to provide the university they are from so that we can match the same model.
Yes, the holograms we sell comply with 100% the guidelines of the Minister of Higher Education in Poland regarding the course of studies and documentation of the course of studies.
Removing the hologram involves damaging it.
Yes, because when you peel off the hologram, it gets damaged.
In the event of damage to the hologram by the customer, please send us a photo of the damage; we usually replace it with a new one.
Yes, the holograms have the eagle symbol and, at the correct angle, the symbol of the Republic of Poland; they are protected against being peeled off. There is no possibility of gluing the hologram, as if it is attempted to be peeled off, it will be damaged.
The data contained in the hologram is always transparent. After being applied, the date has the color of the surface on which it was applied.
The stickers have a transparent date, which means that they have the color of the surface on which they are located. Therefore, the hologram on the paper blister has the color of the paper blister (i.e., white).
The holograms for each semester look the same; only the date differs.
Every original hologram should have: the eagle mark, the RP mark, a laser-cut date, and should have dimensions of 9mm x 10mm.
The security strip on the honey is a sign of the hologram's authenticity. This means that when the hologram is removed, a mark similar to the honey strip remains visible, and with that comes the hologram losing its validity.
According to the Ministry of Education’s regulations, each university has a special code that is located under the date. The stickers do not contain any microprocessors, chips, or even electronically integrated components. The same applies to collectible stickers.
In the case where you are just starting to collect holograms, we will assign the most popular model to you, or we will tell you the name of the university from which you want to collect holograms.
No, it’s not different at all. The ELS hologram on the undergraduate degree looks the same as on the master’s degree. There are no differences, only a laser-cut date that indicates the validity of the hologram for another six months. These holograms are also issued by the university’s dean’s office every October or March, guaranteeing student status. Whether you are studying full-time, part-time, master’s or undergraduate degree – the holograms visually look the same, meaning they have the same dimensions, color, the design of the RP eagle, and the laser-cut date of the validity of the ID card. They also have the same meaning; thanks to the holograms on the ID card, you gain the right to a student discount. This applies to every university in Poland, for example the University of Warsaw or Jagiellonian University.
Each ELS hologram is issued twice a year, in October and March. The laser-cut date on them indicates their expiration date. It is no wonder that you received your student ID with the future expiration date, because thanks to it you have the opportunity to use student discounts for another six months. When you start studying in the winter semester, you will receive a hologram with the date 31-10-XX, and if in the summer semester it will be 31-03-XX. Each such date indicates the validity of your student status while allowing you to use multiple student discounts in all cities in Poland, regardless of where you started your studies.
You don’t have to have all the dates in your collection if you don’t need them. Of course, it all depends on your preferences and ambitions. If you had a break in collecting after completing your studies but you were inspired to collect these stamps, you just need to buy two or three holograms with a date earlier than yours. There is no need to buy older ones that might be left in your collection, taking up space for newer ELS holograms. However, if you aim for a collection that has no gaps and all the dates of the ELS holograms are precisely arranged in sequential order, there is nothing wrong with doing so. We have many such items in our archival series and you will find everything you need there. It all depends solely on the collector. The fuller the collection, the greater the value it exhibits. We encounter different approaches. One collector managed to keep a copy of his student ID from the old days, where he had breaks between the holograms of the dean’s office and the rest of the semester; others took a student leave (the so-called “dekanka”). So the breaks were even seen by the students themselves. Here at our store we will always match any missing dates if you decide to collect and complete your collection. As a rule, a full last year or two is enough to fulfill the expectations of buyers.
If your collector’s card is no longer enough space for the next semester ELS holograms, the best solution will be to make a new blank card on which you will stick the continuation of the current stickers. Unfortunately, this is often cumbersome, so there is also a chance to peel off these older, no longer current ELS holograms and stick the newest ones. If we collect holograms on the collector’s card and we see that there is no space left – you can safely peel off the old dates and replace them with the newest acquisitions so that the collection has the most up-to-date years. This way you will be able to continue your Electronic Student ID collection with the new editions of student items. We have the last years in our collection – so if needed we can add the last years.
Yes, they are different because the hologram for doctoral students is issued only once a year. However, the difference is not the overall design of the hologram, i.e. the color, the RP eagle, the dimensions, and the security features of the student sticker are the same. The only difference is the laser-cut date, as doctoral studies only last one academic semester, which ends on September 30. Therefore, the validity on the Electronic Doctoral Certificate ELD will be marked with the date 30-09-XX.
As a student, with your student ID and an important hologram from ELS, you receive 50% discounts on public transport in every city in Poland (no age limit), as well as on the PKP (up to 26 years old) or the PKS intercity transport (up 51% to 26 years old). But that’s not all; you also get the opportunity to use discounts at many cultural venues, such as museums, art galleries, and cinemas. Coffee shops, milk bars, and clubs also offer their own discounts; you can also find them at many sports clubs. Of course, we consider the situation of a person who has a valid student status at their higher education institution. On our website, however, you can purchase holograms solely for collecting purposes (hence the name "collectible holograms"), which will enrich your collection in a wallet or on a collector's license. This means that they cannot be used as real ones to obtain unlawful property gains. Article 270 of the Criminal Code describes this in detail.
No, the holograms we sell are only for collector's purposes, which means that they cannot be used to obtain discounts.
The holograms we sell are only for collector purposes. Therefore, using them as authentic items, e.g. during PKP inspections, is a violation of the law and is strictly prohibited.
No. We only sell collectible holograms, postage stamps, and collectible emblems. We do not handle collectible documents.
Of course, when purchasing a larger quantity of student stickers, the price is subject to negotiation.
Holograms only have the university code.
Each university has its own individual code; this is a requirement of the Ministry of Education.
When placing your order, you can enter the name of the university; then we will send you a sticker with the corresponding code, or you can check the code yourself on our website. A list of the codes for all universities can be found on our website.
Student IDs for collectors' purposes can be purchased in our online store with fast delivery throughout the country. ELS IDs do not differ in appearance or security method, but can only be used for collector purposes. Using an ELS sticker for other purposes is not in accordance with Polish legal regulations.
The stickers on the ELS ID card stand out with their holographic surface, an 8-digit code containing the university code and a serial number, a eagle symbol visible only at the correct angle, and a laser-cut date of validity in the format day-month-year, as well as a seal in the form of a honeycomb. The unique appearance of the stickers on the ELS student ID card makes more and more people choose to collect ELS holograms. In light of the current regulations, the purchase of a sticker for a student ID for collecting purposes is legal. Check out the latest ELS holograms 31-10-2022 and 31-03-2023 available in our offer. On our website you will find original stickers for the student ID of public and private universities.
