How do I get my Aggie Card?

Students

*Please note, if you are a new incoming student (this includes transfer students) you must have registered for a New Student Conference. If you have not registered for a New Student Conference your information will not be in our ID card system, and therefore you will not be eligible to submit your photo online. If you are not eligible for a new student conference, you will need to be registered for classes before you are eligible for an Aggie Card.

Step One: Go to the MyAggieCard site and click on the Student ID Request Form button. 

Step Two: You will login with your NetID and password and your UIN, First Name and Last Name will automatically populate, please make sure to verify the information on the screen is correct. (NOTE: if the information is not correct you will need to stop the process and contact the Registrar - registrar.tamu.edu)

Step Three: Select the Request Type of New or Replacement

Step Four: Select your Campus

Step Five: You will need to check the boxes in the Agreement section after reading them.

(You cannot have two cards in your possession, so if you have your old ID, please bring it with you when you pick up your new one. Once we print the new ID, your old card will no longer be active.) 

Step Six: Click the Sign button and then Submit. 

You will receive an email with instructions for uploading a photo to your @tamu.edu email address. You will click on the link in the email to upload a photo. You can choose one you already have in your gallery or take a new one. You will receive an email that your photo has been reviewed. If it is denied, the email will state the reason why it was denied and you can then submit a new photo, which meets all requirements, by clicking the link in the photo denied email. If the photo is approved, the email will provide information for pick up. 

Photo Identification verification is mandatory to pick up your Aggie Card. NO Exceptions will be made. Examples of acceptable photo ID documents are driver’s license, passport card/book, previous year’s high school ID, etc… 

Faculty/Staff/Retirees

You must have your supervisor or HR Representative submit the ID Card Request Form on your behalf prior to you submitting your photo online. You will not be able to submit a photo or received a new Aggie Card until this has been completed. 

Your supervisor or HR Representative can complete the form and submit it online by following these steps:

1. Login to the MyAggieCard site
2.  Click Staff/Faculty ID Request Form
3.  Log in using your Net ID and password
4.  Choose Employee/TAMUS
5.  Complete all required information in the online form and submit

Once the form has been submitted on your behalf, you will receive an email from our office with instructions on submitting a photo for your new Aggie Card. 

When your photo has been reviewed, you will receive an email stating whether it was approved or denied. If it is denied, the email will state the reason why it was denied and you can then submit a new photo, which meets all requirements, by clicking the link in the email. If the photo is approved, the email will provide information for pick up.

Distance Education Students

Since we are not able to verify your identity in person, you will be issued a Distance Education Aggie ID card. This card does not contain your photo. You are not eligible to submit a photo online. The Distance Education Aggie ID card must be presented with another form of official government issued photo identification whenever used to verify identity. You can request your official Distance Education Aggie ID card by logging into the MyAggieCard site and clicking on Student ID Request Form. You will log in using your NetID and password. Choose Student and then choose Distance Education. Your Distance Education Aggie ID Card will be mailed to you at the address you provide on the form.
