KIT-Card Exchange - Information for Employees

Since the KIT-Card is used for identity checks, e.g. for access to Campus North, the card has to come with a photograph of the cardholder. Previously used photographs were not stored and, hence, are not available for the new card production. Therefore, employees and students need to provide a recent photograph. To make the process as simple and quick as possible, you can upload a photograph via the SCC Self Service portal (https://my.scc.kit.edu/shib/kitcard.php). There, you can also choose where to pick up the new card (Campus North or Campus South). After uploading the photograph, the card will be produced in the back office. As soon as your new card is ready for collection, you will receive a notification by mail and can easily pick up your card at the location preferred by you. Consequently, you do not need to wait for the card to be produced by the reception desk staff. For an identity check, however, it is necessary that you come personally. After activating your new card, you have to return the old card and to transfer the card balance to your new card.
