Staff members can obtain an optional photo identification card by providing a government-issued photo identification card such as a driver’s license or passport and the Purdue University Identification number (PUID) at the Card Services Office. Since the PUID number is printed on the card, a card cannot be issued until a PUID number is assigned. You can obtain your PUID number by logging onto the mail directory at the following Web address: www.itap.purdue.edu/directory. If you are a new staff member and not in the directory, contact your departmental business office.

The Card Services Office is located in the Purdue Memorial Union, Room 130, with hours from 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The original identification card is free, but a replacement fee is charged for lost or stolen cards. Cards are produced while you wait and normally take five minutes or less. Staff members are encouraged to obtain a plastic card for access to various facilities and services on campus. The plastic photo ID is the only card accepted at the Library and the Recreational Sports Center.
