Virtual AMI Skills Cards
Virtual AMI Skills Cards can be issued to applicants if applicants provide a personal mobile number and email address on the application form.
A virtual smartcard is stored in an app on the card holders’ smartphone or tablet (this can be used instead of or as well as a physical card). Full details on the smartcard system and app are below.
Virtual Cards and App
A virtual smartcard is stored in an app on the card holders’ smartphone or tablet.
The virtual AMI Skills Cards are designed to work with an app called Vircarda.
If you are issued a virtual smartcard, you will first need to install the Vircarda app onto your device FREE of charge from Google Play or The App Store.
Once you have installed Vircarda, to download your card, you will need to enter a registration code and PIN that you will be sent to you by email and SMS when your card is issued.
Your Virtual Smartcard will have the following information shown on the exterior and stored electronically on your device:
Photo
Name
Registration Number
Date of Issue
Date of Expiry
Health and Safety Test Results
Qualifications
Training and other certificates
Type of Card
These details may be updated or removed, and further information about your qualifications, training and other certificates may be electronically added to your card at our discretion after your card has been issued. We may also cancel your card and remove it from Vircarda.
