You can get these from the machines in malls, drugstores, whatever. Application Form - This is available from our office. It just asks for simple personal info like name, address, and Wes I.D. number. Also, you will be asked for the name and address of the beneficiary you wish to name for the insurance that the card carries with it.
Most students name a parent or other close relative.
Validated college or university ID cards for the current academic year are acceptable - photocopies of I.D. cards are not acceptable. Your card will be ready for you to pick up about a week after you submit your application. Call us first to see if it's ready. If you need your I.D. number sooner to make discount reservations, ask when you turn in your payment if you can be given your number immediately.
