Anytime a new or replacement UI Health Care Badge is needed, individuals must first notify their departmental Human Resources representative so that a Badge Request can be initiated and sent to the UI Health Care Badge Center.

Individuals will receive their first badge free of charge, subsequent cards may incur a replacement fee depending on the reason for the replacement.

Badge requests expire 30 days after they are initiated if they are not used and a new request must be issued by the Human Resources representative.

Photos

Every person issued a UI Health Care Badge will be photographed for their first card.

Occasionally we require an individual to have their photo retaken if they need a replacement card.  Reasons for requiring a new photo include, but are not limited to:

• Two (2) or more years have passed since the last photo was captured
• Individual's appearance is different than the current photo
• Quality of the current photo does not meet UI Health Care Badge photo standards

UI Health Care Badge Photo Standards

• Photo must be an unobstructed, full frontal view of the face that is a representation of the true appearance of the card holder
• No facial or hand gestures or foreign objects allowed in the photo
• Hats, sunglasses, bandanas, and any other clothing that might obstruct the view of the face are not allowed
• All head wear must be removed, exceptions may be made if worn for valid religious or medical reasons
