Get a Sun Card

The Sun Card is the official photo ID of all Arizona State University students, faculty and staff. The ASU Sun Card is a multifunctional identification/access card that can also serve as a payment card by debiting funds from an optional prepaid account. Other affiliates of the university, such as adjunct faculty and visiting scholars may be issued a Sun Card as official identification.

• Students and Affiliates Sun Card is $25: You may pay by cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, or you can have the charge posted to your university student account and a bill will be mailed. Students may receive a Sun Card during orientation or at a Sun Card office.
• Full-time benefits-eligible faculty and staff Sun Card is free (first time): The card serves as employee identification and provides door access where needed. Replacement cards are $25. Employees may receive a Sun Card at their scheduled session of benefits-eligible new employee orientation in the university services building, room 1302 or at a Sun Card office.

To get a Sun Card, you must do the following:

• Present a legal photo identification, including U.S. driver's license, passport, military identification or high school ID card, to verify who you are when your Sun Card is created.
• Fill out a card with your name, 10-digit ASU ID number and classification (student, faculty/staff or other). Afterward, we take your picture and produce your Sun Card on the spot.

The process takes 3-5 minutes, and you will walk away with your new Sun Card.
