There are two ways to verify your identity for your UVU ID card.
1. The quickest way is to submit photos of your verification documents.
2. You may book an in person or online appointment with one of our staff members if you are uncomfortable with using the uploading tool.
Option A: Valid U.S. Government Photo ID
These options must be current. If they are expired then please see Option B for your verification documents.
Option B: 1 Photo ID + 2 Alternate Forms
(1) Photo ID
(2) Other forms of Identification with your name
Option C: 4 Alternate Forms
When your meeting begins, select the link Join Microsoft Teams Meeting at the bottom of your email.
The screen to the right will appear. Select the option to Join on the web.
Joining will require that you allow Teams to have temporary use of your microphone and camera. Select the Allow option to proceed.
The next screen will require your web camera enabled or disabled. Select Enable to present your Government Issued ID to the camera. If Disabled, send a copy of the ID through the chat function.
Once your Identity has been verified, this image you have submitted will go live on your my.uvu profile.
After verifying your identity, there will be a link sent through email with the option to have the ID card shipped or picked up in-person. The FIRST card is free for all regular UVU and UCAS Students. The FIRST card for Concurrent Enrollment students is $10, and the FIRST Faculty/Staff ID card is $5. All replacement cards are $20, if the card is less than 5 years old.
Shipment Fees:
Will I be risking my personal information doing this?
Microsoft Teams is HIPAA and FERPA certified.
What does that mean?
In the simplest terms, these are both regulations that help to secure all personal information that you share with UVU in general, or with UVU Medical Services.
Do I have to have Teams to have my photo verified?
Having Teams on your Desktop or Phone is not a requirement for this verification. All you have to do is select the Join on the web option when starting your meeting.
Can I use a different email, and not my UVU one?
Unfortunately not. Because of the high security standards required for this interaction, only the UVU provided email address is accepted.
What if the time I first picked doesn't work for me?
From the email that was sent with your meeting time you may select More options, then Propose a new time, if something has come up and you are unable to meet at this scheduled time.
What if I don't have a microphone or camera on my computer?
If you are unable to participate in this process on a computer, you can also use your phone for these meetings. If neither of these options will be available to you, please let us know in your email.
What if I'm not registered for classes?
Unfortunately if you are not registered for any classes you will not be able to get an ID card. We can help you through the ID Card process as soon as you are registered for at least one credit, or during your new student Jumpstart orientation.
