Penn State recently updated its id+ card with a new design and enhanced features. In Nov. 2022, Penn State will kick off a University-wide re-carding process with five Commonwealth Campuses, including Dickinson Law, DuBois, Great Valley, Shenango, and Wilkes-Barre. 

To create a seamless re-carding process, Penn State requires all students, faculty, and staff to upload an updated photo headshot before obtaining an updated id+ card. A new ID photo must be submitted by Nov. 4 for fall 2022 re-carding distribution. Details of how to submit a new headshot photo are below.

The new campus card will have an updated design and several new contactless features that create a user-friendly digital experience and improved security for the Penn State community. Additional information will be available in an upcoming Penn State News article about the local re-carding events at the selected Commonwealth Campuses.
