Wiscard Renewal

You will lose access to any in-person services on campus. This may include, but is not limited to door access, campus libraries, University Recreation & Wellbeing facilities, Wiscard campus accounts, and University Health Services.

Notifications are being sent out 60, 30 and 15 days prior to your card expiring.

You can replace your Wiscard up to 60 days prior to the expiration date printed on the card.

Notifications are being sent to the email address of record. Please verify in MyUW that you have your correct email and mailing address listed.

Your ID is already more than 5 years old and is no longer valid. You will need to stop by the Wiscard Office and obtain a new ID.

In addition to your current University ID you must also bring a valid passport or U.S. driver’s license. Additional information is included under ‘How to Get Your Wiscard’.

You may come and replace your Wiscard prior to your departure. Present your travel authorization to the Wiscard staff. If you are away from the University when your card does expire, please remember that most online services should not be affected and you can replace your ID when you return to campus.

The Wiscard can be replaced for free beginning 60 days prior to the card expiration date.

It only takes about 5 minutes to obtain your new ID; however, wait times can vary depending on the time of year and number of other customers.

Different campus services update their systems at different times. For example, Wiscard accounts will work within 15 minutes of obtaining your ID, door access services should transfer within 24 hours, however, if you use a pin number to enter a building you will need to contact your building manager. Please carefully review the information available under How to Use Your Wiscard for more specific information.
