When you upload your student card to Evetech, the short version is simple: "Your documents stay private and are deleted once checked." You send your student card and the registration paper for this year from your own account, and nothing more.
Quick Answer
Your documents stay private and are deleted once checked. Upload from your own logged-in Evetech account under My Account > Student Discount, and send only your student card and your registration paper for this year. A verified student takes R1,000 off the price of a PC or laptop.
🔒 What we promise, in one sentence
"Your documents stay private and are deleted once checked." That is the promise, and we will not dress it up with technical detail. What matters to you as a careful student or parent is the practical side: what you send, from where, and what you leave out. Get those three right and the whole upload is a simple job, with a R1,000 saving at the end.
🧾 Send only what is asked
The upload screen wants two things: the card and a registration paper for this year. Both are student papers, so there is nothing else to add. An ID copy is not part of the request, so your ID book and your bank card stay out of it.
If a scan from a campus print shop in Pretoria or Cape Town comes out as one PDF with extra pages, split it first. Upload two clean files and nothing else.
📱 Safe-upload habits worth having
- Use your own phone or laptop. Public computers in a library or lab can keep what you open.
- Log in with your own account. Verification belongs to you, so do it yourself rather than through someone else's login.
- Log out when done, especially on a shared device. It costs 10 seconds.
- Check what you are sending. Open each file before you press upload and confirm only the student card and registration paper are in it.
- Use the email route if you have one. If your campus gave you a student email, the code route needs no upload at all.
💸 After the check, the reward
One careful upload keeps you verified up to 31 March the following year; after that the cycle starts again. At the cart, "Use my student discount" takes R1,000 off the machine. Specials keep their own price cut and take the R1,000 too, and a promo code is switched off while the student discount is in use.
Think of the sum this way: a laptop at R10,399 comes to R9,399 once you are verified (as of 4 November 2026). Browse the laptop best sellers or the student PCs before you upload, so you know what you are saving towards.
Read the student discount terms once before you send anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to upload my student card to Evetech?
Your documents stay private and are deleted once checked. Upload them only from your own logged-in account.
What should I upload besides my student card?
Your registration paper for this year, nothing more. Do not add extra documents the screen does not ask for.
Should I upload from a shared computer?
Rather not. Use your own phone or laptop, and log out of your Evetech account when you are done.
Can a friend upload my documents for me?
Keep it to yourself. You verify with your own student card and registration papers in your own account.
Do I need to send my ID as well?
No. An ID copy is not requested, so keep it out of the upload.
Is there a way to skip uploading entirely?
