UIN Creation and Requests

UINs are generated automatically for employees, student applicants, and many others, as detailed on the Who Gets a UIN page. In all other cases, we generate UINs when requested for a valid need.

Department heads, active employees, and ID Center staff may request UINs for persons who need them. A person cannot request a UIN on his own behalf. System and university retirees who need a UIN must contact their their local ID Center to learn more:

• Chicago ID Centers
• Springfield ID Center
• Urbana ID Center

UIN Requests

• Do you already have a UIN but forgot it? Use the Find Your UIN lookup.
• Does your guest need a NetID?  You must obtain a UIN from us first. Complete our UIN Request form [PDF] and submit it to our Help Desk.
