SEPTEMBER 06, 2023 - Beginning with the 2023 municipal elections, the UNCW One Card issued to employees can be used as a form of photo identification to vote. The One Card can also be used in the 2024 primary and general presidential elections. It will be a valid form of voter identification through Dec. 31, 2024.    

Individuals who received a One Card after July 1, 2023, will notice a visible expiration date. Please note the visible expiration date was added to meet the requirement under the new state law for voter identification and does not apply to access to UNCW buildings or accounts. All One Cards issued prior to July 1 are still eligible for use to vote.    

New Employees: If you have not yet obtained a One Card, your supervisor, department head or HR representative must fill out the ID Card Request Form (DocuSign). You must also submit a headshot here. The One Card Office must receive the completed form and headshot prior to issuing your card. The One Card Office will notify you when your card is ready for pickup. A valid government-issued photo ID, such as a current driver’s license, passport, military ID or state-issued identification card must be presented when obtaining a UNCW One Card. We are located in the Warwick Center (office 102) and are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.  

Additional information about the UNCW One Card can be found on the One Card FAQ website. Visit the North Carolina Board of Elections website for information about other forms of valid voter identification. Information can also be found at the New Hanover County Board of Elections website.
