🎫 Digital Studentbevis: how to activate it and where the discount applies

📲 Installation and verification

Studentbevis is the official electronic student ID in Norway. It is issued through the Sikt app and replaces the paper student ID card.

How to set it up:

1. 📥 Download the Studentbevis app (iOS/Android).
2. 🔑 Log in using Feide (university account).
3. ✅ The app will automatically update your status if you have paid your semesteravgift.
4. 🎓 Your name, photo and QR code for verification will appear on the screen.
   

📌 Studentbevis will not be activated without payment of semesteravgift.

🚉 Transport operators

Student discounts (usually ~50%) are available on many transport systems:

● 🚆 Vy — trains and regional buses.

● 🚇 Ruter — metro, trams and buses in Oslo.

● 🛳️ Skyss — buses and ferries in Bergen.

● 🚌 AtB — buses and trams in Trondheim.

● 🚍 Kolumbus — transport in Stavanger.

● ❄️ Troms Billett — buses in Tromsø.

👉 When purchasing a ticket in the carrier's app, simply select "Student" and present your Studentbevis when asked.

⚠️ Common mistakes

● ❌ Status not updated: most often, you have not paid the semesteravgift or have not passed re-authorisation in Feide.

● ❌ No photo in Studentbevis: upload a photo to your university account — it will be synchronised automatically.

● ❌ Do you need a paper ticket? No, Studentbevis in the app + a digital pass is sufficient.

The digital Studentbevis is an amazing tool that makes life so much easier for students! Not only does it confirm their status, but it also gives them access to fantastic transport discounts. The great news is that all you need to do is pay the semesteravgift and set up the app correctly via Feide!

Here's a great tip: keep your Studentbevis right on your phone's home screen, so you can show it to inspectors super quickly! This way, you'll sidestep any fines and make sure you always get your student discount!
