      Printing Physical Copies of Minga ID Cards

      Minga Digital ID Cards can be printed straight to your printer, for quick and easy access to physical copies.

      If you require printed ID Cards at your school for examinations or students who do not have access to a personal or school device, you can print an ID directly from Minga.

      Please try the following:

      Video Tutorial:

      Step by Step:

      1. While in the Print dialogue box - click on More/Advanced Settings
      2. Make sure the Margins Field is set to "None"
      3. Click Print

      If the barcode still isn't showing then it is likely being pushed off by the address. We recommend going into your Minga profile and changing the address to city and zip code only. This should make space on the physical card for the barcode to show correctly!

      Please note - When printing onto to paper, you will want the margins set to "Default"
