Cal 1 Student ID Card and Building Access

Online Photo Submission for Cal 1 Card

The Cal 1 Card is the required official campus photo ID. The first step in obtaining a Cal 1 Card is to carefully review the applicable online photo submission instructions and submit a compliant photo here (link to: https://cal1card.berkeley.edu/c1cphoto).  

Cal 1 Card issuance will occur when you arrive on campus for orientation. At that time, you will also be required to present an original valid government-issued photo ID (e.g. driver license, state ID, passport).

If you encounter problems successfully uploading a compliant photo online or are unable to obtain a valid government-issued photo ID in advance of your arrival, please provide the pertinent details in an email to cal1card@berkeley.edu.

Once you have your Cal 1 ID card, then you must fill out an online Card Key Access Form. Completing this form will activate your card so you can access the Student Center, Library reading rooms, and other secured areas of the law school. Note that it may take a few days to process the form.
