ITIC and ALIVE cards are now renewed exclusively through digital revalidation. If you wish to renew your card and you have an employment contract with MENDELU for the next 12 months, please contact your Personnel Officer. The renewal fee is CZK 300. For discount providers, the decisive factor is always the record in the national cardholder database. Each cardholder can download the Alive App free of charge (available on the App Store and Google Play), activate their profile, and use it as a digital ID card – especially outside the university.
At the university, employees will continue to use the plastic card. If an employee has their card renewed at the Personnel Department, the Personnel officer can affix a verification sticker to the card confirming its validity. These stickers are optional and intended for individuals who, for various reasons, cannot verify the validity of their cards via the mobile app.
The current list of discounts and benefits available across the Czech Republic and abroad can be found on the websites of the Audiovisual Centre a GTS ALIVE.
