University of Iowa students, faculty and staff are eligible to receive an Iowa One Card.  There is no charge for the first card.

All individuals must present a valid, approved form of government issued photo ID to receive their card.  We will not accept photocopies or photos of an ID on a mobile device.  All forms of ID must be the original document.

Iowa One Cards may be obtained at either of our office locations, we will take your picture if we do not have a photo on file, if your prior photo is more than two years old or if the prior photo no longer resembles your true appearance.

Students

New Undergraduate Students who are admitted for Fall 2024 AND registered for SOAR

Students who are first year undergraduate students and who have registered for or participated in a SOAR program, are eligible to use our online card request application to submit a photo and request an Iowa One Card.  If you meet this criteria, please visit your Admissions Profile in MyUI, scroll down to "Your Next Steps" and look for the section titled "Iowa One (University ID) Card" and follow the instructions.  Photos must meet the university's requirements and are subject to approval.

All other students can obtain an Iowa One Card in-person at either of our office locations.  Please bring a valid, approved form of government issued photo ID.

Faculty/Staff

New faculty and staff are eligible to receive an Iowa One Card when their appointment has completed routing in Workflow.  This may take 1-2 business days due to the timing of system updates and the effective date of the appointment.  If there are any questions regarding the eligibility of a new faculty/staff member, please contact us by email or phone call.  Individuals with a complimentary appointment are eligible for an Iowa One Card with Affiliate printed as the role identifier.
