QUESTIONS ABOUT SID NUMBERS
Please include your System Identification
Number (SID) on the envelope that is to be returned
with your photos to be used in creating your student
ID card.
For those of you who have
already sent in your photos without the SID, we will
process your ID card using other information. Please
do not contact the ID Center to find out if your packet
has been received. If there is a problem with your photo,
we will notify you via the email address you provided.
Thank you for your cooperation.

General
Identification
Your ID card identifies you as a member
of the Yale University community. You should carry it at all
times while you are on campus and present it, upon request,
to University officials whose assigned responsibilities authorize
them to seek proper identification.
Who May Have a Card?
The ID Card Center is authorized by the
Yale University Provost's Office to prepare ID cards only
for members of the Yale community who have complete files
within the University's Human Resources database.
Caring for your ID Card
Please treat your ID card with care. Holes,
creases, and improperly applied validation stickers will make
the card inoperable. Do not bend the card or leave it in direct
sunlight, near other sources of heat, or in contact with magnetic
fields.
Uses

Features
Your photo, name,
signature, birth date (undergraduates only), card issue date,
university personal identifier (UPI), system identification
number (SID, Banner account holders only) and bar code are
on the front of the ID card. The bar code is used for identification
by Yale libraries.
One magnetic stripe
on the back provides access to campus buildings and to Dining
Services. The second, smaller, magnetic stripe on the back
is used by laundry facilities in University housing and may
be used in the future by campus vending machines.
Undergraduates and others requiring
access to secured areas, such as residential college gates,
have IDs that contain a proximity antenna, which opens the
locks in those areas.
New ID Cards (First
Time Card Bearers)
The University requires one of these forms
of identification when obtaining a Yale University ID card
at the ID Center. NOTE: Name on government authorized id cards
must match the name in Yale's database (no nicknames).
Passport (USA or International)
Driver's License (USA Only)
State Issued (Non-driver) ID
US Military ID
INS ID (Green card)
Replacement
cards
Lost, stolen or
damaged ID cards should be reported as soon as possible to
the University Security Programs Department at 100 Church
Street South, (203) 785-5555.
Replacement cards
are available at the ID Card Center during normal business
hours. During non-business hours, temporary ID cards are available
at the University Police Department located at Phelps Gate.
To obtain a replacement ID card, you
must go in person to the ID Center. For security reasons,
some other form of photo identification, such as a driver's
license or passport, is required (see list above).
When an ID card is lost, stolen, or no
longer functions, the ID Center issues a replacement card
with the photograph on record. When a cardholder must get
a new card type because of a change of status, for example
when a former student becomes a faculty member, the ID Center
issues a replacement card with a new photograph.
Malfunctioning
or accidentally damaged cards are replaced at no charge. Lost,
stolen, or deliberately damaged cards are replaced at a fee
of $20 for cards with gate and building access capability
and $5 for other cards.
