Barking ID cards
ID cards for London’s newest riverside community
On the old Barking Power Station land beside the Thames, Barking Riverside is growing into a new neighbourhood of its own. Revised permission granted in 2026 allows for up to 20,000 homes. The London Overground was extended to a new Barking Riverside station in July 2022, and a river bus pier opened the same year.
A new community needs people who residents learn to recognise: teachers and support staff at the schools, housing officers and estate managers, concierge and maintenance teams, and staff at the new shops, surgeries and community buildings. Many work for different organisations but serve the same streets.
We print plastic photo ID cards for each of them, with a clear photo, name, role and organisation. Colour-coding helps residents tell a housing officer from a contractor, or a teacher from a visitor.
Cards are printed in full colour on both sides, so the back can carry a phone number residents can call to check someone’s identity.
School staff, pupil and visitor cards
Riverside School, which opened on a single campus in 2017, teaches primary, secondary and special educational needs pupils side by side. Schools like this need different cards for teaching staff, support staff, older pupils and visitors.
Our school ID card printing service covers staff, pupil and visitor designs. For other organisations, see our ID card printing service.
Schools
Staff, pupil and visitor cards, colour-coded by role.
Housing
Photo ID for housing officers and estate managers visiting residents.
Concierge
Front-desk and maintenance ID for new residential buildings.
Transport
Company ID for station, river and bus support staff.
Health
Role cards for GP surgeries, pharmacies and community health teams.
Retail
Name cards for shops on East Street and in the town centre.
Community
ID for community centre staff, youth workers and volunteers.
Contractors
Photo ID for building and repair crews. See our construction ID cards.
ID for carers working across Barking
Carers visiting homes in Barking, from Victorian terraces to new riverside flats, need ID that residents can read at a glance.
Our carer cards use a big photo and the carer’s name and agency in bold lettering. The back can carry a verification number for residents or families to call before opening the door.
Store your design with us and order a card whenever a carer joins. It’s printed and sent on next day delivery.
Front and back, full colour
Both sides of each card are printed in full colour. Schools often add safeguarding contacts on the back, and housing teams print a number residents can call to confirm a visit.
Tell us what’s needed
Share your quantity, whether you want one side or two, and the date you need the cards.
Designer callback
Once your order is placed, our design team gets in touch to agree the layout.
Cards residents can trust
When staff knock on doors, their ID card does a lot of the reassuring.
We put the organisation’s name and logo at the top, a large recent photo in the middle and the person’s role in plain English. A different colour for contractors and visitors avoids confusion.
You can send a design you already use or let us create one. A proof comes first, and we keep the layout for future staff.

How much do printed ID cards cost in Barking?
What you pay depends on the number of cards, one or two printed sides, and the card type. Barking deliveries arrive next day.
Schools and housing providers issuing cards to whole teams pay less per card than for one-off orders. Send us your quantities using the enquiry form for a price.
You can read about how ordering works first.
First class service and product. My company has been coming to I D Cards and Lanyards for all our staff identification badges and accessories for 5 years, – not only can I recommend them, I might even buy shares in the company if available.

ID card questions from Barking
What schools, housing teams and businesses in IG11 ask us.
Can schools have separate cards for staff, pupils and visitors?
Yes. We can print a different design or colour for each group, so everyone on site can see who is who.
Can housing officers' cards include a number residents can call?
Yes. A verification number on the back lets residents phone and confirm a visit before they open the door.
Can we add new staff later in the same design?
Yes. Your design stays on file, so new cards match the ones you already use.
How quickly can you deliver to Barking?
After you approve the proof, your cards go out on next day delivery to IG11.
Can I phone you about an order?
Yes. Call 0203 026 0565 at any time. Phone support runs 24/7.
