- Request books through MERLIN or MOBIUS.
- Use computer labs on campus.
- Use for student discount purchases (movie tickets, Mizzou event tickets).
The first ID is free of charge. If a replacement ID is requested, the charge is $25. The charge will be made to your student account through the Cashiers Office.
If you plan to come to Mizzou’s campus to obtain an ID card, see the Division of IT website for instructions.
If you do not plan to visit Mizzou’s campus to obtain an ID card, you may request a digital ID by submitting a school-appropriate photo for verification.
To submit your photo, go to idcardmanager.missouri.edu, log in, and click Submit ID Photo. In step three of the verification steps, click Upload a New Photo and add your photo for verification. For upload tips, go to: https://doit.missouri.edu/services/id-card-details/id-card-faqs/.
After submitting your photo, watch your university email for a verification confirmation. If your status says "PENDING” for more than 5+ business days, you must re-submit your photo. This indicates that your photo and ID Document were not successfully uploaded.
Once you receive the verification email, visit the Mizzou Mobile ID website for instructions on how to download your digital ID to your smartphone.
