Why do I need a Penn State id+ Card? What can I do with it?
Your id+ card is used for a number of University functions and should be kept with you at all times, per University policy AD24.

In addition to visual presentation, your id+ card may be required to access University services via an electronic reading system.

You may need to present your id+ card when:

  • Entering a building
  • Utilizing University Library services
  • Reviewing your academic and University financial records
  • Picking up your free copies of newspapers like USA Today and the New York Times through the Newspaper Readership Program (students only)

How do I get my Penn State id+ Card?

Penn State Scranton students can get their Penn State id+ card by booking an appointment online  or by calling 570-963-2551 to make arrangements for ID card pickup.

The first id+ card received is issued at no charge. You will need to present valid identification: such as a driver's license, passport, or military ID - in order to receive your id+ card.

What if I lose or damage my card?

We can issue you a new id+ card at the current replacement fee. The filing of a police report does not waive the replacement fee of a stolen card. Only the latest card printed is valid.

Lost or stolen id+ cards and/or mobile devices should be deactivated immediately through the Deactivation/Reactivate Portal. 

Visit us in Dawson 117 with another form of photo identification to obtain a new card.

What if my name changes?

Replacement of a card when there is a change in the cardholder status or name is free; however, the old card must be presented in exchange.

What if I have an older id+ Card? Can I get the new one?

Penn State Scranton students, staff and faculty received new Penn State id+ Cards in spring 2023. 

For those who did not receive a new card or wish to have a new photo taken here on campus, contact IT in Dawson 117.
