Student ID Cards

The official university picture ID is known as the Gator 1 card. All enrolled students, faculty and staff must have a university ID card.

The Gator 1 card is used for access to CIRCA computer labs, university libraries, student recreation and fitness centers, all university recreation facilities and intramural sports activities and infirmary. The card also is required for purchasing tickets to any university athletic or extracurricular events and to vote in student government elections. Students with Gator Dining accounts can use the card to purchase food at any campus location; the card also can be used with a prepaid vending account for select vending machines and laundry facilities in some residence halls. The card now functions as an ATM/debit card when activated at Bank of America.

The ID Card Services Office is located at the southeast entrance of the Hub. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding university holidays. Call 392-UFID for further information.

To process a request for a Gator 1 card:

·    Come to the ID Card Services office at the southeast entrance of the Hub.

·    Bring a photo ID (driver’s license, military ID or passport) and a social security card (staff card, infirmary card, selective service card or printed UF document with your social security number.) If you lack a picture ID, contact 222 Criser Hall for a notarized statement of identity.

·    A $10 fee is required at the time the card is processed (cash, checks or debit card only).

NOTE: NOTE: Access to university facilities and privileges may be denied if your account has been flagged by University Financial Services.

Student Spouse ID Cards: To obtain a form to authorize issuance of a student spouse card, the spouse should go to the information desk in Peabody Hall with the student’s UF ID card, the marriage certificate or a copy of it, and their social security number and photo ID. The spouse must bring this form, a driver’s license or passport and $10 to the ID Card Services Office.
