Wiscard is the official UW Madison identification card. This card comes with an identification number, which is used to activate a NetID; the NetID is the access code used for a number of campus internet services. The Wiscard is also the id card used to obtain other UW services such as library privileges and to use a discounted bus pass.

To obtain a Wiscard, employees and students must present a form of identification, for example, a valid driver's license or passport. New employees may obtain their initial card at no cost upon verification of employment. Lost, stolen or misplaced cards will be replaced at a non-refundable cost of $25 per card. The Wiscard office is located at Union South, Room 149, 1308 Dayton Street. Please find further information on the Wiscard Page.
