Obtaining a Rutgers University Guest ID Card

Rutgers visitors and other university guests who require a Rutgers ID card  for use of authorized privileges must first be listed as a Guest in the university's Registry (database). ID Cards for visiting scholars are issued for a period of up to one year, after which they must be renewed by submitting an updated request form, turning in the expired card, and paying the associated fee.

  • To become a guest in the university's Registry, your sponsoring department must submit a Guest Role/NetID request form. 
  • All sponsoring departments should visit: requests.rutgers.edu/guest/guest.htm
  • Questions regarding the guest sponsorship process should be directed to the OIT Help Desk as stated on the above webpage.​​​​

Once the Guest Role/NetID is established, the individual may upload a photo online via the online submission portal:
