HOW TO OBTAIN YOUR PHOTO ID CARD

1. IDENTIFICATION REQUIRED
Students, faculty, and staff who need a new or replacement ID card must present some form of personal photo identification such as a valid driver's license, passport, or state ID.

2. AUTHORIZATION

• Students: Newly admitted students may obtain their initial card at no cost upon verification of enrollment by the card office staff. Continuing or returning students may obtain a card to replace a lost, stolen, or worn ID as needed. Replacement cards may be subject to a fee.
  
  
• Faculty/Staff: The Photo ID Office can make a faculty/staff ID card ONLY after the school has entered the employee data into the appointment system. It generally takes one business day for this authorization to appear in the ID database. The initial card is issued at no cost.
  

3. VALID ID CARDS
The ID card issued to an individual is valid throughout a person's entire academic or employment career at the University of Wisconsin Baraboo\Sauk County. This card should be carried at all times and presented upon request. Only the most recent card issued to you is valid. If a card has been replaced and an old ID is found and used, the card will be confiscated.

4. LOST AND FOUND CARDS
Any ID card that is found should be immediately forwarded to the Business Office . Anyone looking for a lost card can call 608-355-5210 to see if the card has been turned in.

5. OBTAINING A REPLACEMENT ID CARD
A non-refundable fee is charged to replace a lost or stolen card. Cards that become worn or damaged may be surrendered to the Business Office and a new card will be issued. Worn cards may be replaced at no charge if the card office determines the damage to the ID is from normal wear. Fees are subject to change without notice. For more information, see New and Replacement Card Fees.

6. PROPERTY OF UW-Baraboo\Sauk County
The Photo ID card is the property of UW-Baraboo\Sauk County , is non-transferable, and does not guarantee current university status. Fraudulent use or reproduction of a UW-Baraboo\Sauk County ID card violates Wisconsin criminal statutes and will be referred for prosecution.
