About the MUID Office
We are located on the first floor of the Drinko Library.
The ID Office provides official mobile credentials, and photo identification cards and badges when necessary, for Marshall University students, faculty, and staff. Effective June 1, 2020 the MUID office will only be issuing Marshall Mobile IDs. The ID Office is required to verify the identity of any individual requesting a card with a valid, Government issued photo ID such as a driver’s license or passport. All identification credentials issued will bear the individual’s official name on record with the University. Preferred names must be registered with the University through the Office of the Registrar in order to be used on mobile IDs or badges.
Students
To be eligible for student identification credentials, active enrollment is required for the current or upcoming academic term.
Dual credit students working through local high schools may request a special “dual credit/high school student” ID when their course registration is active in the University computer system.
Badges for student teaching, nursing, or other clinicals require approval in advance from the responsible department. Please check with the instructor or the Campus ID Office to ensure the proper authorization is on file. A charge of $5 to $10 may apply for certain badges.
Employees
Full-time faculty or staff must present ID authorization documents from Human Resource Services to receive their MU Mobile ID.
Part-time, extra-help employees must present a letter from the employing department on university letterhead identifying them and must have a university identification number (MUID number / 90#) assigned in advance.
If you need to have your photo taken for your ID card, photos can be taken at the following locations:
- Huntington Campus – at the MU ID Office
- South Charleston Campus – at the Library
- Mid-Ohio Valley Center (MOVC)
In all cases, you must present proper ID at the office to pick up your card or badge.
