Essential Information at Your Fingertips
Each card contains space to include your name, date of birth, and an additional information section where you can record crucial medical details, medications, or any other pertinent notes that could assist emergency personnel. Below this section, there is dedicated space to list two emergency contacts, making sure those closest to you can be reached quickly if necessary.

Digital ICE Profile for UKSN Members

Personalised QR Stickers (Sold Seperately/Coming Soon)
To further integrate these features, we are introducing Personalised QR Stickers. Simply apply the sticker over the existing QR code on your ICE Card, and when scanned, it will direct responders to your personalised ICE page. This seamless connection between the physical card and the digital profile provides an extra layer of security and accessibility.
ICE Card Extras
To enhance the usability and protection of your UKSN ICE card, we offer several additional extras tailored to meet your needs:
- QR Code Stickers: These convenient stickers allow you to link your ICE card to a personalised, scannable QR code. When scanned, the code directs to your individual emergency contact information, offering instant access in case of an emergency.
- Cold Lamination Pouches: Protect your ICE card with our cold lamination pouches. These pouches keep your card safe from wear and tear, ensuring it remains durable and legible for longer, even in tough conditions.
- Bundles: For added value, we offer bundles that include the ICE card, a protective cold lamination pouch, and a QR code sticker, making it easy to carry all necessary items for your personal safety and convenience.
- Family Edition: If you're looking to outfit your entire family with ICE cards, we have a special Family Edition. This set includes four of everything — four ICE cards, four lamination pouches, and four QR code stickers.
Please note: Each family member must have a paid UKSN account to utilise their personalised QR code. If the required ICE URLs are not provided at the time of ordering, standard UKSN URLs will be sent instead.
How to Share Your Personal URLs
To ensure that your ICE card is linked to your personalised QR code (active paid UKSN members only), you'll need to provide your unique URL. Here's how to do it:
- Active Your ICE Page: Follow the instructions on your personal ICE page.
- Locate Your URL: Click the ‘View’ button on your personal ICE page. This will open your information in your chosen internet browser. The URL displayed in the address bar of the browser is your unique link.
- Copy the URL: Highlight the full URL and copy it (Ctrl+C or right-click and select "Copy").
- Paste the URL: Paste the copied URL (Ctrl+V or right-click and select "Paste") into the relevant customisation section when placing your order. This ensures that the QR code linked to your ICE card will be personalised to your details.
Please note, if you do not provide your personal URL, we will send a generic UKSN QR code by default, which will not link to your unique information.
