Student Identification Services

The ID Room, located on the ground floor of the Main Library, is the primary point of service for UNZA student identification cards. Your library card doubles as your university ID and is required for borrowing, accessing certain facilities, and verifying student status.

Services Available

  • New student ID card issuance at the start of each academic year
  • ID card replacement for lost, stolen, or damaged cards
  • Photo updates and card reprinting
  • Library barcode activation and account linking
  • Verification of student registration status for library access

Requirements for New Cards

To obtain a new ID card, present your proof of registration, a valid national ID or passport, and one passport-size photograph. First-time cards for newly registered students are issued free of charge during the designated registration period.

Replacement Cards

Replacement cards attract a fee payable at the UNZA bursar's office. Report lost cards immediately to prevent unauthorised use of your library account. A clearance from the library circulation desk may be required before a replacement is issued.
