New Faculty and Staff

Welcome to the UMaine Team!

To obtain your Mobile MaineCard, please stop by the Mainecard Office where we can take your photo and verify your government-issued identification.

You can do this any time during your first week (dependent upon your job requirements). Your supervisor should provide instructions.

Please note: if your information is not entered into our system by HR, we will be unable to issue you an ID card until it’s updated. Sometimes this can take up to 1 week.

Departmental MaineCard holders can add funds, view declining balances, and replace lost cards.
