- UCSF ID cards for students, employees, volunteers, contractors, vendors, affiliates, and visitors
- Fingerprinting services for employee background checks, licensing requirements, and NRC irradiator operation
- Basic notary services for UCSF operations only - basic notary services for UCSF students, employees, and affiliates
Basic notary service does not include home loan documents or other personal (non-UCSF) services
