ID Cards and Online Photo Submission
Take the wait out of picking up your new tap-enabled ID card. Submit your photo online and you will simply need to stop by and have your new ID printed without waiting to have a photo made.Protect Your Card
Decoded and damaged cards may be rejected by our card readers.
- Do not bend, fold, or expose your card to excessive heat, washing, or other damaging elements.
- Do not pass your card through any other system (i.e. automated bank tellers), as decoding may occur.
- Do not leave your Redbird Card on or near a TV, stereo, telephone, microwave, or other electromagnetic equipment.
- Do not store your Card next to magnetic earbud cases, these have been known to de-magnetize the magnetic stripe.
- Do not punch holes in your card. This may make your card unusable in any reader.
Special care must be taken of ID cards used for door access that have the internal antennae. Bending the cards may damage the antennae inside the card.

Photo Tips
- If you have a problem submitting a photo cropped from a larger photo, you may need to retake your photo in a smaller size or use a different photo editing tool.
- If you are having background issues, make sure you are using a plain, solid white, off-white or light blue wall. Doors or walls with paneling will not be accepted. Try using poster board as a background option.
- Photos taken with a cell phone may require better lighting.
