The ESNcard is the membership card of ESN Lund and the Erasmus Student Network. It gives reduced ticket prices for our events and access to over 1 500 discounts across Europe. We also have several deals with local businesses in Lund.
Who can get the card?
The ESNcard is available for those who have Studentlund membership and are either:
- A foreign student or intern
- An ESN volunteer or alumni
- A Lund University international mentor or student ambassador
If you are a Swedish student going on exchange, you should instead get the card from an ESN section in your host country.
I’m a student at another university, can I join?
Yes! Provided that you are a member of Studentlund. Students from the following universities can become members of Studentlund:
- Copenhagen Business School
- Kristianstad University
- Malmö University
- Roskilde University
- Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
- Technical University of Denmark
- The Royal Danish Academy – Architecture
- University of Copenhagen
I’m not a Studentlund member, could I still join?
If you are ineligible for Studentlund membership, you may join by obtaining special membership in the Academic Society (Akademiska föreningen).
Register here and pay the membership fee. Then show the proof of payment when you come to the office.
Membership in the Academic Society either through Studentlund or by special membership is necessary.

FAQ
Hitract
How do I pass the student verification?
- Using your Universityadmissions.se account: Select “Personnummer eller e-post”.
- Using your Lund University account: Select “Studentportal”.
- eIDAS might also work for some EU countries.
How do I register as an intern?
If you are an intern and would like to become a member of ESN Lund, you can purchase a membership here.
Note that you must be a either a member of Studentlund (possible if you are an intern at Lund University) or Akademiska Föreningen directly.
If you are ineligible for Studentlund, you can purchase a special membership in Akademiska föreningen here.
Unfortunately you will not be able to participate in events in collaboration with nations as they require Studentlund membership.
Where can I find my personal identity number?
You can find it on
- Your digital Studentlund/STUK card
- Your physical LU card
- Universityadmissions.se
- Ladok
The Swedish personal identity number (which Hitract calls “Person official ID”) is in the format YYYYMMDDXXXX; year, month, day), where XXXX is either a letter and three numbers for an interim (temporary) personal number or four numbers for a normal personal identity number.
My personal identity number won’t validate/is not in the correct format
The Swedish personal identity number can be written using two (e.g. 99) or four (e.g. 1999) digits representing the year and can optionally include a hyphen before the last four characters.
Hitract requires having 12 characters (using the long year format) and without a hyphen, like so: 19991231T123
I’m still waiting for approval for becoming a member

When I enter my ESNcard number to get a discount the verification fails
Make sure you have created an account and registered your card on esncard.org. Having an account on Hitract is not enough. Note that it might take up to a day for the databases to sync after registering your card.
