Getting your first ID

Choose, upload and send your photo

If you're a new student or a current student who has NEVER gotten an ID card, you can use the photo upload portal on your mobile device or desktop computer. Simply choose and upload the photo you've taken — the one you want for your student ID and OPUS card. We'll do the rest!

You must meet the following criteria to submit your photo online:

  • It must be your first Concordia student card.
  • Have enrolled in at least one course (for 24 hours).
  • Have access to a digital camera or smartphone to take a photo — submitting a current photo is mandatory.
  • Follow the submission guidelines and agree to the Cardholder Agreement.
