We’re unable to send you a new DofE Card with the correct spelling, as the cards are automatically printed once the information is entered on an eDofE account.

Alternatively, you can download the digital DofE Card from eDofE or the DofE app (participants only for the app). It can be added to a mobile wallet, printed out or displayed on email.

Can I lend my DofE Card to my family and friends?

The DofE Card is available to everyone who is involved with the DofE and their family. However, the DofE Card and digital DofE Card should not be passed onto friends.

Parents and family can use either the physical DofE Card or download the digital DofE Card to their wallet, but they will not be sent their own card.

Your family are able to make savings on all eligible purchases across all the stores and websites – not just clothing and kit for a DofE expedition.
