Advanced QR Code Based Identity Card: A New Era for Generating Student ID Card in Developing Countries

Abstract—Educational institution in developing countries is a
vast sector and it is expanding rapidly. With the rapid growth
of technologies, educational institutions are still lagging
behind. For identification of students they still lie on manual
handwritten ID card and files. If proper ID card system is
introduced then it would be much easier to identify a student
and can track his/her progress. Therefore, in this research we
implemented advanced using of QR code and student ID
generation. We tried level best to make right implementation of
QR code with student ID card. Automated student ID had
image capturing facility and requirements of an ID and there is
no need of hand written ID card. QR code is attached into ID
card and student personal details can be found by scanning the
QR code with smart phones (downloaded & installed QR
reader software). QR code is said to be the next generation of
bar code and using QR code with ID card brought positive
outcomes. While using software tools, identity cards works fine
and suitable for an educational institution as it is free. Thus, ID
card will be a perfect use of modern technology in developing
countries.

INTRODUCTION
Now-a-days with rapid growth of population, people
need to be identified and it is now a must for every
organisation from a company to a large country to have the
Identity card (ID) for the every people. Therefore, now for
every educational institute an ID card for a student is
compulsory. ID card is said to be the summary of any
student indeed. It is highly essential for an educational
institute to provide ID card to each and every student of it.
ID card is generally considered to be the summary of a
student’s information.
The project “Advanced QR coded Student ID Card
Generation” is being created to decrease the effort of human
as we know before people use the hand written ID card. The
ID is the pure automated solution and it will help to generate
student ID card easily. It is a special type of software which
will be used to make an advanced ID card with QR code
instead of the bar code. It is specially made for the
developing Countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Srilanka.
Our ID card produced software that captures both student
picture and QR Code of individual student.

For example, business card does have only QR code
facility. But this software will add all the feature in one ID
card and ID card will be act as the smart ID card. Another
important point it can be found as open source that means it
will be available for free. QR code can be scanned with any
smart phones and it will show the information of the student
including – medical details (blood group, organ details),
progress of the student, current status to the school and
some other personal details of him/her.

IDENTITY CARD & GENERATION
We can define an identity document as the document and
it will help to make the proper verification of the personal
identity of a person [3]. The ID is also known as ID or the
portion of identification or the paper of any person. It is a
small standard size card and usually called the identity card
that can be easily kept in a pocket or inside wallet. A card
can show data of the identification about any person
including names (first name, sur name, last name), age,
address, a portrait photograph to have colour of body, hair
and eyes. These types identification are used commonly in
place of school for the student, companies for the
employees. Therefore it can be said that student ID card is
the card of identification which is used for holding specific
characteristic of students.
As we can compare traditional ID of any developing
country then it will only contain all the details with hand
written and anyone can make the fake ID card easily. When
administrator make ID card with his or her hand writing
then it can be filled of error and mistake. Sometimes they
made the mistake of writing wrong name with spelling and
so on. Here is an example of our previous ID card that
students use in Bangladesh-
