Can my kid use the digital student ID card to receive student discounts?

Yes. Your student can present their RemoteLearning.School digital student ID card in the ID123 app when asking for a student discount. Digital student IDs can help online students show that they are active students and access discounts at participating businesses. However, each business decides who qualifies and whether it accepts a digital ID card.

Important: The digital student ID card provides proof of student status. It does not automatically guarantee a discount.

A digital student ID is especially convenient during field trips, museum visits, educational outings, and other activities away from home.

In this video, a Homeschool Pro parent and student show how they keep their digital IDs available on a phone while visiting an educational attraction. The card can be presented when asking whether student, teacher, or homeschool discounts are available.

How to Ask for a Student Discount

1. Check before making a purchase.
   Look for a student discount on the business’s website, or ask an employee before checking out.
2. Mention that your child is a homeschool student.
   Ask whether the discount is available to K-12 students, homeschool students, or both. Some discounts are open to students of all ages, while others are limited to college students or students above a certain age.
3. Open the ID123 app.
   Display your student’s activated digital ID card on your phone.
4. Have your student with you when possible.
   A business may ask to confirm that the student receiving the discount is present.
5. Ask whether any additional verification is required.
   Some businesses may request another document, a school-issued email address, or a separate online verification process.

Where Can Homeschool Families Look for Discounts?

Discounts vary by location and business, but places worth checking include:

• Museums, zoos, aquariums, and science centers
• Bookstores, art supply stores, and educational retailers
• Software, technology, and subscription services
• Theaters, attractions, recreation centers, and community programs
• Restaurants, local shops, and transportation providers

Some organizations may not call the offer a “student discount.” You can also ask about:

• Homeschool admission rates
• Homeschool days
• Education pricing
• School group rates
• Teacher or educator discounts

Calling ahead is especially helpful before making a special trip. You can ask:

“Do you offer a discount for K-12 or homeschool students, and do you accept a digital student ID in the ID123 app?”

Some education-pricing programs specifically include homeschool students, but they may request additional proof, such as current homeschool documentation or proof of curriculum enrollment. Requirements are set by the company offering the discount.

Tips for Finding Homeschool Discounts

Try searching for phrases such as:

• “[Business name] student discount”
• “[Business name] homeschool discount”
• “[Attraction name] homeschool day”
• “[Company name] education pricing”

Discount programs and eligibility rules can change, so confirm the current requirements directly with the business before purchasing.

Keeping the digital student ID card in the ID123 app gives Homeschool Pro families a convenient way to present student identification during field trips, educational outings, shopping trips, and other activities outside the home.
