ID Authentication

ID Authentication

Maricopa Community Colleges requires students to submit a valid form of identification for authentication. This allows us to confirm a student's identity and prevent identity theft. Students can submit their identification in person at any of our Admissions, Records, and Registration offices or online.

Verifying your identity is important to us and to you, which is why we ask you to provide a government-issued photo ID in person, or as a color copy sent through the U.S. mail.

Note: Students must submit their own ID.

Failure to provide a government-issued photo ID in a timely manner will result in your financial aid award being canceled. This may lead to getting dropped from your classes for non-payment of tuition.

Note: If you no longer plan to attend courses, please drop your classes.

A current government-issued photo ID will be accepted from the following:
  • State-issued driver’s license, identification license, or instruction permit
  • U.S. passport or passport card
  • Foreign passport with a U.S. visa
  • U.S. citizenship and immigration services employment authorization document or refugee travel document
  • U.S. permanent resident card
  • U.S. military ID card (active duty, reserve, and retired)
  • Matricula Consular
  • Other international government identification
  • Tribal ID
  • Current K-12 student ID
  • Any current, valid government-issued photo ID
