Obtaining a U of R Student Photo ID Card

Once you have received your Student ID number and have registered for classes, you can obtain your U of R Student Photo ID Card.

How to Request a New Student Photo ID Card

Online

You can request your new Student ID card online through your UR Self-Service account. Once you are in your account go to: Student Services - Student Records - U of R Photo ID Card Request.

Before starting your request you will need your Digital Photo and a copy of valid government issued photo ID (see Digital Photo and Valid ID Specifications) ready for upload. Make sure the documents are not too large as it may not upload or can freeze the UR Self-Service form.

Please come to the Registrar’s Office Service Centre (Administration Humanities Building on the second floor, Room 210).
