Producing Cards and IDs

Because i-card Programs is the sole authorized distributor of identifying devices for the University of Illinois, units may not purchase, develop, or produce their own without our permission.

Departments, units, programs,  and affiliated organizations that want membership or identification cards that reference the University of Illinois in any way must contact us. Similarly, units wanting to upgrade or install door access systems should contact us.

Do not purchase any systems or devices for identifying persons or authorizing services before speaking with i-card Programs; doing so could add significant initial and long-term costs you had not accounted for.
