Getting Your Spartan Card

New Retirees

As a new retiree, you can come to the ID Office to obtain your Spartan Card during our business hours. When you come to acquire your Spartan Card, you will need to provide a government issued photo ID (passport, US driver's license, and US State ID). The photo for your Spartan Card will be taken at our office during your visit. Online photo upload for retirees is not available at this time.

Please note, your retirement information must be fully processed by MSU Central HR for the ID Office to see your account updated to the retiree status. If you are unsure whether or not you are in our system as a retiree, please contact us at 517-355-4500 prior to coming to our office.

Current Retirees

If you are a current retiree who did not obtain your retiree Spartan Card, you can come to the ID Office to obtain your Spartan Card during our business hours. When you come to acquire your Spartan Card, you will need to provide a government issued photo ID (passport, US driver's license, and US State ID). The photo for your Spartan Card will be taken at our office during your visit. Online photo upload for retirees is not available at this time.

If your Spartan Card photo is over 6 years old, you can come to the ID Office for a free Spartan Card replacement. The ID Office encourages you to have an up-to-date picture on your ID card and therefore will not charge for these replacements.
