Name Badges worn in a visible location are sometimes required for employees in certain departments, student ambassadors, etc. If you are required to wear a name badge, you have the option of requesting a second UNK Card to serve as a name badge only. The magnetic stripe will not be activated and the bar code will not be printed on the back of these cards thereby making them ineffective in any campus card reader. The UNK Card Office reserves the right to request verification from the employee’s or student’s supervisor regarding the requirement that they must wear a name badge.
Photogragh
Your card includes a digital photograph taken against a blue background for students, gold background for employees and a white background for affiliates. Hats, scarves, bandanas, headbands and sunglasses must be removed for the photograph, except for items that must be worn for religious reasons.
Since the primary purpose of your card is to serve as a form of identification, when replacing a card, we are required to retake your photograph if the previous photo is older than one year.
Replacement Card

For Replacement of Damaged, Lost or Stolen cards bring $5 (cash or personal check made out to University of Nebraska at Kearney) to the UNK Card Office. Also bring a valid driver's license, a government-issued I.D., a military I.D., or a passport. We will print a replacement card and deactivate your old card.
