Your first Humboldt ID is automatically printed when you upload your "ID Photo" to your myHumboldt account (directions below).

  1. Log into myHumboldt (on your computer, not your phone) using your Cal Poly Humboldt username and password
  2. Go to Student Center.
  3. On the left hand navigation side, Click Upload ID Photo
  4. You will need to browse to the photo you wish to upload. Once located, click OK

Please prepare your photo to match these requirements:

  • Must have a white background
  • Must be in color (black and white photos will not be accepted)
  • Must be a full front view of your head and shoulders only

This photo will be your permanent Humboldt ID card picture throughout your time at Cal Poly Humboldt. Please keep this in mind when selecting your photo.

We will send your Humboldt ID to your dorm if you are planning on living on campus. Students living off-campus are notified when their Humboldt ID is available for pick up in the Library. Distance learning students may request that their Humboldt ID be mailed by contacting idoffice@humboldt.edu. Please verify your mailing address in your myHumboldt account before making your request.
