Employees may receive a Sun Card at their scheduled session of benefits-eligible new employee orientation in the university services building, room 1302 or at the Sun Devil Card Office.

To get a Sun Card, you must do the following:

• Present a legal photo identification, including U.S. driver's license, passport, military identification or high school ID card, to verify who you are when your Sun Card is created.
• Fill out a card with your name, 10-digit ASU ID number and classification (student, faculty/staff or other). Afterward, we take your picture and produce your Sun Card on the spot.

The process takes 3-5 minutes, and you will walk away with your new Sun Card. View Sun Devil Card Office locations
