Also, the instructor or dive center may be able to resend you a temporary certification card by email in addition to verifying the mailing address submitted for your certification.

At Launch: English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Italian, Korean, Japanese.
Where can I purchase a PADI eCard?
You can visit your local PADI Dive Center or Resort or order online at PADI.com.

All physical cards are made from 70% recycled materials. You can also order a Limited Edition PADI eCard or purchase both formats at a discounted price.
I just received an eCard and I would like a physical card as well.
Absolutely, you have the option of purchasing a physical card by contacting your certifying Store or Instructor or visit www.padi.com and select Certification Cards.
How do I download my PADI eCard(s)?

What if I can’t log in to the PADI App™?

What information is displayed on PADI eCards?
PADI eCards will reflect the same information as the existing certification cards – including certification level, full name, diver number, birth date, certification date, instructor number and name, dive center or resort information (depending on the level of the store*), ISO qualifications (where applicable).
