How to treat your student ID card

While your card does not have personal information on it, someone can use it to access your meal plan, BUCS, etc. You should treat your card like a credit card or other valuable personal items:

• Do not punch a hole in your ID card.
• Do not place your ID card in the pocket on the back of your phone or near a wireless phone charger because this could demagnetize your ID card.
• Keep your ID away from other cards in your wallet; this could demagnetize your new ID card.
• Note: Once your card is demagnetized in your possession, you will be responsible for the $20 replacement ID card fee.

Replacement ID cards

Students needing a replacement card must use the ID Card Replacement Request form below.   

If your ID card is lost, damaged, stolen, or demagnetized, you can request a replacement. A $20 fee will be charged to your student account, and all previous ID cards will be deactivated once the replacement is processed.

• Once the form below has been submitted and a replacement ID card has been processed, the $20 fee cannot be waived if you later find a lost/stolen ID or you fail to pick up the replacement ID card.
• Once your replacement ID card has been printed, you will receive an email with pickup information. You must provide a government-issued photo ID to pick up your card. 
• The picture on file will be used to create the replacement ID card.
• It may take up to 30 minutes for building access to be activated or restored after a new card is processed. Meal plan and bus access will update within 20 minutes, while printing access will refresh overnight.
• To temporarily suspend your Meal Plan, you can do so by clicking , calling the Meal Plan Office at 607-777-6000, or visiting the Meal Plan Office in the Union Underground (UUB02). If you locate your ID after placing a hold, you  must visit the Meal Plan Office in person to remove the hold.
• Email requests MUST be sent from your official º£½ÇÂÒÂ×ÉçÇø email account and include your B-number.
• Note: If you find your lost or stolen card before picking up your new one, please email idcard@binghamton.edu to check if your request can be canceled. However, if the new card has already been printed, you will need to pick it up and pay the $20 replacement fee, as the old card will have been deactivated. Once deactivated, an ID card cannot be reactivated.

Emergency after-hours ID card replacement once semester begins 

If you're locked out of your room or unable to access your meal plan, and this creates an emergency or hardship, please visit the University Police Department (Couper Administration Building, Room G24, phone 607-777-2393).

When using the temporary card, please inform the cafeteria cashier to swipe it, as the tap function will not work. For temporary access to your building or room, please contact your RA or RD. This temporary card will give you time to request a replacement ID.
