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: Log into https://myaggiecard.tamu.edu using your NetID username and password. 

Step Two: Click on the Request New Student ID Card after logging into myaggiecard.tamu.edu with your NetID username and password. Verify the information on the screen is correct. Then click one of the following choices provided: 

•  New 1st Time Aggie ID Card
•  Replacement ID Card

Then you must check the box indicating you understand a fee will be charged to your student account.

(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.) 

Next, click Submit. 

Step Three: You will receive an email with instructions for uploading a photo. 

Step Four: 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.

Step Five: 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 

Step Six: 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 Liaison 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 Liaison can complete the form and submit it online by following these steps:

1. Go to myaggiecard.tamu.edu
2.  Click Staff/Faculty ID Request Form
3.  Log in using your Net ID and password
4.  Choose Employee/TAMUS
5.  Complete 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 going to https://myaggiecard.tamu.edu 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.
