Your Jefferson Photo ID Badge

Photo ID Badges Policy (No 200.30)

Proper personal identification is an essential part of Jefferson’s security efforts and promotes effective communication with patients, employees, medical staff, students, and vendors. The photo identification badge, by its nature, should be a clear, concise device for identification. Federal and State regulations have mandated that the photo identification badge of anyone having direct patient care must also display the state-recognized licensure and the generic job title on the front of the badge.

All Jefferson personnel (students, faculty, staff, medical staff, residents, volunteers, contractors, vendors, and visitors) will display a Jefferson photo identification badge while on Jefferson property.

Photo Identification Badges

The initial photo identification badge is free; however, there is a $25.00 replacement cost for lost or damaged badges.

Stolen badges can be replaced for free if you have a police report; otherwise, you would be responsible for the $25.00 replacement fee. All lost/stolen badges can be replaced at your location Photo ID center.
