Digital ID FAQs

Faculty and Staff

The UCI ID has gone mobile! Here’s why:

Physical IDs – Easily Lost, Ruined and Stolen

Mobile IDs – Secure, Sustainable and Free

With over 40,000 students and staff, mobile IDs will keep plastic out of landfills and our ocean. UCI prides ourselves on sustainability and innovation. Mobile is the way of the future and we want to be at the forefront. With both those contributing factors Mobile ID is the smartest choice for UCI.
