The UChicago Card is the official University of Chicago identification card. All current faculty, academic employees, staff, postdoctoral fellows, visiting scholars, and active students are eligible to receive a UChicago Card.

As a UChicago Card holder, the UChicago Card is yours alone to use, but it remains the property of the University and must be shown on demand. It is not transferable under any condition. Do not lend your UChicago Card to any other person.

Cards are generally issued at the ID & Privileges Office in the lobby of the Regenstein Library, 1100 East 57th Street, Chicago IL 60637. You must present a government-issued photo ID (e.g., a driver's license, passport, state ID card) to receive your card.

Faculty have the option to stop their image from being displayed electronically to entry-control attendants at access control points around campus that utilize user images. This option is currently only available to faculty/academic staff. Please contact the ID & Privileges Office to opt out.

Please note: Because your picture will no longer be displayed to entry-control attendants, you may be stopped and asked to display your UChicago Card at entry-control points.

Your UChicago Card image is your photo of record and will be displayed in the student information system and class photo rosters requested by faculty. The photo of record must match the image on your UChicago Card, so we cannot update your photo without issuing a new card.

You’re welcome to stop by the ID & Privileges Office in the lobby of the Regenstein Library, email us at ipo@uchicago.edu , or call us at 773-702-3344 if you have questions about carding services .
