Instructions
Deadline: Your photo must be submitted and approved by 11:59 pm on Sunday, December 15. Read these instructions before you begin!
- Log in from a C (not a phone). Chrome or Firefox are the recommended browsers to use. Technical support is not available for devices or browsers.
- Your photo can be rejected if it does not meet these linked photo requirements, and it's best to read them! Following these basic tips can contribute to success:
- Don't use a photo taken using a phone's high resolution option.
- Include only from the top of your head to the top of your shoulders. No more is needed for an ID card.
- Choose a background that is very plain and much lighter than the color of your hair.
- Use a photo that is bright and clear, so that your eyes and features are easy to see.
- You must monitor your photo's status (approved or denied) after you submit it. Log in here again anytime before the deadline given above.
- Photo denied? You may submit another photo if the deadline is not past.
- Photo approved? You cannot submit a different photo.
- Emailed photos are never accepted!
What if you can't submit a photo or your photos are denied? Your photo can (will) be taken at an ID issuing location, as follows:
- Before December 21, you must visit the Chicago ID Center West, to prove your identity and claim your ID.
- After December 21, you must visit the UI Health ID Office, to prove your identity and claim your ID.
- You must show a government-issued proof of identity to claim your ID.
