Emergency IDs for your whole group, free
For clubs, schools, associations and volunteers: add your logo, enter each person, and print wallet cards, stickers or paper wristbands. No limit from us, no account, and nothing is sent to us.
Before you start
- Ask the families or the people concerned before entering their details, and enter only what a helper needs.
- Everything stays on this computer: keep the group file and the printed cards somewhere safe.
- Anyone who scans a code can read that person’s card, as with any medical ID.

How to use each format
Printing: before you hand anything out
- Print at 100% (“Actual size”). Print one page first and measure a wallet card: it should be 85.6 mm wide, the size of a bank card.
- Black and white is fine: the code itself is always black on white.
- Scan two or three codes with different phones before handing them out.
- Shred misprints and old cards, or cut through the code: they hold personal details.
Wallet cards
- Print on thick paper or thin card (about 200 g/m²) and cut along the coloured border.
- Laminate them or cover them with clear tape so they last. Matte is best: shine can stop a phone reading the code.
- Keep the card in the same place every time: a wallet, a bag pocket, a sports bag or a lanyard holder. Tell the person, and their family, where it is.
Stickers
- Print on full-page sticker paper (A4 or Letter), or on plain paper fixed with clear tape.
- Stick them on a flat, smooth surface: a school bag, a water bottle, a helmet, a wheelchair, the back of a phone case.
- They are not waterproof: cover them with clear tape on anything that gets wet or washed. Replace a sticker when the code gets scratched.
Paper wristbands
- Made for a single day: an outing, a trip, a tournament, a sports day. Paper doesn’t last much longer and isn’t waterproof.
- Print on thick paper (160 to 200 g/m²) and cut along the outline.
- Wrap it around the wrist with the code on top, cut off the extra length, and fix the end over the “Glue or tape here” area. Leave room for a finger: it must never be tight.
- On a wrist the code is curved: check that it scans while it is worn. If a wrist is too small, put the wristband around a bag strap instead.
- Take it off at the end of the day and destroy it.
Phone lock screen
- For people who have their own phone: older children, teenagers, adults, staff.
- Download each person’s image and send it privately to that person or their family, never in a group chat: the code holds their details.
- They set it as their lock-screen wallpaper. A helper sees the code without unlocking the phone.

Letter for families
One page to print or send with the cards: what the code is, how a helper uses it, and what to do when details change.

4. Save for next time
Your list only exists on this page. Save it as a group file, protected by a password, to update it next time.
We never see this file or the password. If you lose the password, nobody can open the file, not even us.

When details change
A code holds the details as they were when you made it. When something changes, open your group file, update the person, and print a new card. Destroy the old one.
Questions
Is it really free for a whole group?
Yes. No account, no subscription, and no limit from us on the number of people. The page runs in your browser and nothing is sent to us.
Who can read the cards?
Anyone who scans a code can read that person’s emergency card, as with any medical ID. The rest of the group stays private: each person has their own code.
Do you keep a copy of our list?
No. The list stays on your computer. To keep it, save the group file: it is encrypted with your password on your device, and we never see it.
What happens when someone’s details change?
Open your group file, update the person and print a new card. A code holds the details as they were when it was made, so destroy the old card.
How many people can we add?
As many as you need: we set no limit. The page has been tested with 100 people in one file. With several hundred people an older computer can slow down, so make one file per team or class.
Which format should we choose?
Wallet cards for every day, in a bag or a wallet. Stickers for things that go everywhere with the person: school bag, water bottle, helmet, wheelchair. Paper wristbands for a single day: an outing, a trip or a tournament. Lock-screen images for people who have their own phone. Many groups combine two.
