Getting Your id+ Card

Every Penn State campus has an office location that issues id+ cards. There is no charge for your first card.

At the time of your visit, you will need to present a valid driver's license, passport, state-issued photo ID, military ID, or Permanent Resident Card. An id+ card cannot be issued to anyone who does not present one of these valid forms of ID. Once you receive your card, its features can be activated immediately.  

University Park Students
All first-year students who participate in the First-Year Testing, Counseling & Advising Program (FTCAP) will receive their id+ cards during the program.  

Transfer students, graduate students, and first-year students who do not attend FTCAP can get their card at the id+ Office (103 HUB-Robeson Center). Students transferring to University Park from another Penn State campus will not be issued a new id+ card.  

Students at Other Penn State Locations
Contact your campus id+ Office for more details and schedules.  

Faculty/Staff
Your appointment type or position classification determines the type of id+ card you will receive. Standing and fixed term appointments will get a Faculty/Staff card. Wage payroll appointments will get an Affiliate card.
