Government employees may require a government-issued photo identification (ID) card. Photo ID cards are available for all government employees and contractors working in government facilities.
This card will help to identify the person as a government employee, or someone authorized by the government to work on-site at a government facility. It must be worn inside all government buildings where photo ID is required. In some buildings and facilities, government employees and contractors who are visiting (who do not regularly work at that location) may be required to present their valid photo identification at a registration desk when entering the facility.
All employees are encouraged to acquire photo IDs as soon as they begin employment, and managers are encouraged to ensure that photo ID is part of the onboarding process for new members of their teams.
The safety and security of our facilities is taken very seriously. If an employee is not able to comply with the standard photo requirements, please refer to the Photo Identification Card Guide in the link below.
Photo ID cards can be valid for up to five years and need to be replaced once they expire. More information about photo ID services is available in the following guide and processes:
