Many UCSF facilities use an electronic door locking system. This system relies on the use of ID cards to only provide access to those who are properly authorized. By obtaining and wearing the required ID card while on UCSF property, you can help enhance our overall security. Upon being issued, a UCSF ID card is not activated. The person’s home department can activate the card to open certain doors.
To Get an ID Card:
- First, get approval from your department representative (usually your HR representative).
- Your representative must enter your information into the campus computer system.
- Make an appointment.
Medical Center personnel must contact Medical Center Human Resources or Medical Center Security for ID Cards.
What to bring to your ID card appointment:
- At least one valid government photo identification
- Your home-department determines what Credentials display on your ID Card
- Home-department enters up to three Credentials in the Campus Locator CLUP screen
- Badging staff verifies Credentials on CLDS screen at card issuance
- The $35 fee for new or replacement ID cards (your department may pay the fee by entering account information into the computer system). We accept cash, checks made payable to UC Regents, Visa/Master Card.
