All UB students are required to have a photo identification card. Save the hassle of having it taken on campus and send us your selfie!

It's easy!

  • Take & upload a digital photo of yourself

    The photo's background will be converted to plain white as part of the upload process.

  • Submit photo of your government-issued photo ID for verification

Selfie Checklist

Make sure you pass our selfie regulations:

  • Does the selfie identify you as a person?

    It's your selfie after all!

  • Are you looking straight at the camera?

    Side profile selfies are out of style!

  • Is your selfie in color?

    Save that B&W filter for Instagram!

  • Are you free from red eye or reflections?

    Who uses flash anyways!?

  • Did you take off your hat or any garment that obstructs the view of your face?

    We want to see you clearly!

  • Is it a photo of just yourself?

    No photobombing or group selfies!
