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:
