To ensure that students can quickly seek help in emergencies, the Taipei City Department of Education has added emergency contact information on the back of digital student IDs. Starting from June of the 112th academic year, customized digital student IDs will be provided for new students or those replacing lost or damaged cards.
To protect students' physical and mental well-being, Taipei City's digital student IDs will include emergency contact information such as psychological counseling hotlines, emergency numbers (110 or 119 for life-threatening situations), and the "Taipei City Petition System 1999" for reporting violence, bullying, drug threats, or any form of harm. This ensures that students can readily know the available support channels during emergencies.To ensure that students can quickly seek help in emergencies, the Taipei City Department of Education has added emergency contact information on the back of digital student IDs.

Taipei City's digital student IDs offer various functionalities. In addition to small-value transactions via EasyCard, they can be used for transportation systems such as the MRT (in Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichung, and Kaohsiung), Maokong Gondola, buses, public bicycles, and parking lots. They are also accepted for small-value purchases at four major convenience store chains, Taipei Zoo, Children's New Paradise, and other outlets, integrating with the EasyWallet e-wallet for automatic top-ups. The emergency messages on the back of the ID allow students to access necessary help at any time.

The Taipei City Department of Education stated that without additional budget, digital student IDs with emergency messages will be gradually distributed to elementary, junior high, and high school students. By using their student IDs daily, students can report emergencies and receive timely assistance. The department places great importance on student safety, and the addition of emergency messages on the digital student IDs enhances students' ability to respond to situations, promoting awareness and encouraging students to speak up against bullying to protect their safety.
