Abstract: The direct pair-production of the tau-lepton super-partner, stau, is one of the most interesting channels to search for SUSY. First of all the stau is with high probability the lightest of the scalar leptons. Secondly the signature of stau pair production signal events is one of the most difficult ones, yielding to the 'worst' and so most global scenario for the searches. The current model-independent stau limits comes from analysis performed at LEP but they suffer from the low energy of this facility. The LHC exclusion reach extends to higher masses for large mass differences, but under strong model assumptions. The ILC, a future electron-positron collider with energy up to 1 TeV, is a promising scenario for SUSY searches. The capability of the ILC for determining exclusion/discovery limits for the stau in a model-independent way is shown in this contribution, together with an overview of the current state-of-the-art. A detailed study of the 'worst' scenario for stau exclusion/discovery taking into account the effect of the stau mixing on stau production cross-section and efficiency is presented. For selected benchmarks, the prospect for measuring masses and polarized cross-sections will be shown. The studies were done using the sgv fast simulation adapted to the ILD detector concept at the ILC.
