Parents of Riga’s 5th and 10th formers urged to submit electronic applications for pupil’s e-card at www.eriga.lv
Parents of Riga’s 5th and 10th formers are urged to apply for pupil’s e-cards at www.eriga.lv, as starting from academic year 2015/2016 the procedure of applying for, receiving and restoring Riga pupil’s e-cards will be changed. This year the new procedure applies to pupils of 5th and 10th forms, whose cards expire this year, as well as to pupils who change schools.
To make the application for the pupil’s e-card and its restoration faster and more convenient, the IT centre of Riga City Council together with „Rīgas satiksme” and Riga City Council’s Department for Education, Culture and Sports have developed a new electronic service „Application for pupil’s e-card”, which enables parents to submit a remote application for a new card.
The new service is available as of August 17. Parents shall fill in applications for pupil’s e-cards at www.eriga.lv , where data of the pupil and the school where he or she goes will be selected automatically. A photo of the pupil also has to be attached to the application. „Rīgas satiksme” will manufacture pupil’s e-cards remotely, based on the data submitted, and will deliver the e-cards to respective schools, where headmasters will sign them and issue to pupils.
Parents are particularly encouraged to submit electronic applications until August 31, so that the new cards could be delivered to schools, because after this date it will be only possible to receive the cards at „Rīgas satiksme” customer service centres.
One can also still apply for a pupil’s e-card personally at customer service centres of „Rīgas satiksme”.
This year the new order will not apply to first-formers. Their cards will be manufactured on a collective request prepared by school, to which photos of pupils will be attached. Pupils of other classes haven’t to change their e-cards. As for pupils of forms 11 and 12, they will have to extend validity of their pupil’s e-cards in ticket vending machines to enjoy fare discounts in public transport.
