Updating the photo used for your identification card is as simple as three easy steps.
Step 1: Have both your Chosen ID Photo and Photo of your Government Issued ID ready
Please follow these guidelines:
- Be sure that photos are not in “live” mode.
- Photos that are too big will display a message stating the photo cannot be greater than 2MB, please crop the photo until it is just around your face and re-submit.
- Photos that are too small will display a message stating the photo must be greater than 300KB. Try taking a photo using the rear-facing camera and re-submitting.
- Heavily filtered photos will not be accepted (i.e. Snapchat or Instagram filters)
- Should be cropped slightly above the head to middle of chest
- Should be taken against a plan/solid wall (one color that is smooth and not textured) background
- Must be a color photo
- Must not include sunglasses or hat
- Must be positioned directly facing the camera
- Eyes should be open and looking at the camera
- Photo of government issued photo ID (passport, driver’s license) required in next step
- Please make sure you are wearing a shirt
If you have problems uploading a photo, please contact the USU Card office by phone at (435) 797-3852 or email to idphoto@usu.edu.
You need a chosen ID photo and a photo of your government issued ID (typically a photo of your driver’s license or passport) before moving on to Step 2.
Step 2: Submit the Photos
Follow these guidelines on how to submit your ID photo and photo of your government issued ID. Watch the video for a full step-by-step tutorial on how to upload the photos!
Click on the Submit Your Photo button and login with your A-number and password.
Then, scroll down and click on the link to submit a new photo. Upload your ID photo or drag it into the box provided. Upload the photo of your government issued ID or drag it into the box provided. Click on the Submit and Sign Out button.
Remember, you are always welcome to come to our office to have your picture taken if you prefer. You also have the options to pay in person, by phone or with the PayPal button below.
You will receive an email informing you if your photo was approved or denied.
Step 3: Pay for Your Card
If you are a Logan campus student, you only need to pay for the cost of the card if you would like to have a physical card printed in place of the Mobile USU ID. If you already have a physical card, once you have activated the Mobile USU ID on your device, your physical card will no longer work on readers across campus.
You are welcome to come to our office to pay for your card, pay over the phone or online through the Pay Now button.
Please note that you do not need to have a PayPal account to use the online payment option. You will be given the option to pay by debit or credit card upon check-out.
