Official Emory ID
The EmoryCard is the official Emory University ID for students, faculty, and staff members.
New students and employees are asked to upload their photos online, as outlined below, so that our schools and departments can manage the application process.

Be Prepared
Prior to arrival, all new students and employees are required to upload an APPROVED photo of themselves, along with a full image of their government issued photo identification.*

- Is the photo a headshot of you ONLY?
- Are your eyes open and clearly visible?
- Is the submitted photo less than 6 months old?
- Is the image of yourself similar to your government issued photo ID?
- Is the submitted photo similar to a passport/identification photo?
