1.2.5 Identification (ID) Cards

Students registered at McGill are required to present an ID card when writing examinations and when using libraries, Student
Services, certain laboratories, and many residences.

An ID card cannot be issued until at least 3 hours after the
student has registered. When requesting the card, new students must present Permanent Code information and proof of legal status in Canada (for a list of documents please see section 1.2.4 "Documentation").

ID cards will not be issued if any of the legal documents are missing.
