Identity Cards

• For students:
  This applies only to students who are currently enrolled at UCL. Students should bring a form of personal ID (e.g. bank card, driving licence) to Security Systems in the Security Office in the Andrew Huxley Building. No other form of authority is required. If a card is lost or stolen during its period of validity, the first replacement will be free, but a £15 administration fee will be charged on any subsequent occasion where a replacement is requested for reasons other than card expiry or card failure. In such circumstances a voucher must be bought from the UCL shop and then be taken to Security Systems, where a new card will be issued. The shop opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 7.00pm; the Security Office opens Monday to Friday, 9.00am and 4.45pm.
  
  To add access rights to student card holders, authorized signatories should email the request to securitysystems@ucl.ac.uk.
  
  The name and departmental information displayed on the student card is held by the Registry and not by Security Systems. The first name is recorded by the Registry as "Known as". If this information needs to be corrected, the student should contact the Registry.
