The Pulp frontman once shared the throwback snap on his Instagram after having a spring clean.
19 September is Jarvis Cocker's birthday... and to celebrate we're going right back to his university days.
In 2017, the Pulp frontman shared an image from his time as a student at London's prestigious Central Saint Martins, which gets a name check in the band's most well-known single, Common People.
The photo ID, which has an expiration date of 1991, sees the Pulp frontman without the glasses we've become accustomed to seeing him in, but with all the dark charm.
See the picture below, which was captioned: "Been doing some sifting today. Exhibit A: my identity card for Central St Martin's Art College. #csm #igotmyeducation #contactlenses."
The Sheffield-born rocker attended the art college to study film in the early '90s. The school also boasts an alumni, which includes PJ Harvey, The Horrors' Faris Badwan and the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen.
We're sure if the young Jarvis Branson Cocker saw what 61 year old Jarvis has achieved today, he wouldn't believe his eyes.
Watch the video for Common People which begins with one of Cocker's most iconic lines: "She came from Greece she had thirst for knowledge/She studied sculpture at Saint Martins College..."
