McMaster photo ID card

All retirees are eligible for a free McMaster photo identification access card that identifies them as a McMaster retiree. Retirees who do not have a photo ID, e.g., because they still have the older, blue ID card, because they handed in their photo ID upon retirement, etc. are encouraged to get a McMaster retiree photo ID card that facilitates the following services:

  • photo ID
  • access control (controlled access to various buildings/labs/stairwells)
  • entry into controlled-access staff lounges on campus*
  • Mac Express meal plan account (activated in Commons Building 128)
  • library borrowing
  • use of athletic facilities such as the Pulse (gym)

How to get a photo ID card

  • your name
  • your employee number
  • a photo of yourself (can be a picture of your government issued photo ID, e.g. health card, driver's license, or other appropriate photo)
  • When your card is ready for pickup, you will receive instructions where and when to attend.
  • Additional information on photo ID cards is available on the McMaster Security Services' Technology web page in the Photo ID Cards section, under "Retirees".
  • Please contact Axiomrep for further information.

* If your existing retiree photo ID card does not work for accessing staff lounges, send an email request to [email protected] including the name on your card and the number printed on the back of your card.

** The preferred method to make arrangements for photo id cards is via email, but if that option is not possible, you can make arrangements by calling Axiomrep at 905-525-9140 x27416.
