FREE Homeschool ID Cards For Teacher and Students with 3 Extra Options
Create your own beautiful and professional homeschool ID cards to receive teacher discounts at businesses where available.
This is our first year of homeschooling. I’ll admit, that I am way out of my comfort zone. We’ve started, but it has been a struggle.
I was reading a homeschooling thread on Facebook and people were mentioning teacher discounts.
What?
Really?
So what did I do? I made identification cards for both my daughter and me. I may go back and make the boy’s Pre-Kindergarten ID Cards so they don’t feel left out. One reader mentioned that she made id cards for all her children for field trips.
This could open up so many different possibilities for learning!
Discounts at museums, stores, anywhere you can get the educators discount.
This is what ours look like:
I’m not sure what I expected. I thought it would be super hard to make, with lots of steps. But it was really easy.

Other Places To Make Homeschool ID Cards
These are a few websites where you can make an ID card.
Homeschool Buyers Co-op has a free homeschool ID page.
Canva has a great number of templates available to use.
Zazzle has many ID card options to choose from and is easy to use.
You can use a photo of yourself or your child or this logo on any of these ID cards.
Do they really accept these without question whenever you present them? I was thinking to make one for teacher appreciation day, but wasn’t sure if businesses give a hard time to homeschoolers.
When I used them, they did. I haven’t had anyone tell me they didn’t work!
What is the best way to delete your information from the website once you download your ID card?
When I created them, they did. If you’re concerned, you could always email them and ask.
how do u get the picture to upload vertically?
How were you able to get it to print the size of an id?
For me, it saved the size I needed. If it saves larger, then you can adjust the print size on your printer.
Is it legal to create a teacher ID of you homeschool and do you have to print it out or can you save it to your mobile device?
Homeschools in the states where we have lived are legal schools, making those who lead the school teachers. In certain cases, businesses require teachers to show some form of id. They may also require the official letter stating that the homeschool is an actual school where the teacher is employed. It’s up to the business what they allow and don’t allow.
Thank you! I love that this is free and gives me tons of options.
Thank you so much
These are cool. Thanks for sharing. Why is a teacher birthdate on the card necessary?
Check to see if you can leave it off! It’s a template they use.
Joann.com is asking for a teacher ID. What did you put there? Is it a number? Your name?
Hi Hannah! I never added a number but you could if you wanted. I used this template with no problems.
