UCF Card Services

ID Card or Badge Mailing/Pickup Policy and Requirements

If you have a protected or sensitive status, Card Services recommends that you obtain your ID card in person. This ensures the safeguarding of sensitive personal information, including your home address, telephone number, and photograph.

You may obtain your UCF Card or a replacement in person at the UCF Main Campus or the Rosen College of Hospitality. UCF Downtown students, faculty, and staff, as well as Valencia College Downtown students, faculty, and staff, may choose to pick up their card at the DPAC Building, Suite 302, by selecting the appropriate option through the mailing link. (Pickup at DPAC is offered exclusively for Downtown campus-affiliated individuals.) All UCF students and employees, including those enrolled in UCF Online courses may request to have their card mailed to them if they prefer NOT to pick it up in person. Valencia College Downtown students, faculty, and staff may also request to have their card mailed if they are unable to visit a pickup location.
Individuals requesting a card must meet one of the following criteria:
For UCF Students, Faculty, and Staff
  • Student enrolled for the current semester
  • FTIC or Transfer student who has attended Orientation or received an invitation from ucf@onlinephotosubmission.com requesting your photo
  • Staff or faculty after your effective start date
For Valencia College Downtown Faculty, Staff and Students
  • Students enrolled in the current semester who have paid their tuition in full
  • Staff or faculty after your effective start date
Subject to a $5 mailing fee. Additional charges may apply for replacement cards and badges.
To receive your ID card via mail or pickup, you will need to complete the following steps:
  1. Fill out and submit a request form. Please note that all correspondence will be sent to your official institutional email address:
    • UCF Students & employees: @ucf.edu
    • Valencia College Downtown students: @mail.valenciacollege.edu
    • Valencia College Downtown employees: @valenciacollege.edu
Your request will be reviewed shortly, and if approved, you will be sent a link from UCF Card Services (UCF@onlinephotosubmission.com) to submit a digital photograph as well as a government-issued ID
  1. If you are not eligible for your requested ID card or badge, you will receive an email with the cancellation reason shortly after your submission.
  2. If you are attending an Orientation through FYE,you will automatically receive an invite to submit a photograph one week before your scheduled Orientation date. We advise that you wait until then to submit your card mailing request. Please note that all photo submission invites are emailed to your @ucf.edu address. Please be sure to check that inbox, including the spam folder, to retrieve your invite.
  3. After your mailing request has been reviewed and your photo approved, you will be sent a mailing payment request. The request includes a mailing fee plus any additional applicable fees.
  4. Once payment has been received, your ID card will be printed and mailed within 24-48 hours. However, processing your request may take additional time depending on the volume of requests.

The actual mailing process is subject to factors, such as weekends, holidays, on campus mail processing, and the United States Postal Service. It is difficult to estimate the exact amount of time it will take to receive your ID. Generally, it will take 7-10 business days to receive your card after you have completed the payment process.
