Your Faculty or Staff GWorld Card
Active GW faculty and staff members including full-time, part-time, temporary, adjunct, visiting, and emeriti, are eligible to receive a GWorld Card.
There are two types of GWorld cards – the GWorld Mobile Card (stored on your mobile device) and the physical GWorld Card. As a faculty or staff member you can choose either the mobile or physical card.
New Employees
You can start the set-up process for your GWorld Card one business day after you claim your GW identity.
Note: Your role at GW (faculty or staff) will be indicated on your card. If you are both a student and a staff member, you will use a staff card.
How to Get Your Faculty or Staff GWorld Card
Follow these three steps.
- Step 1: Take Your Photo and Verify Your Identity
Perform one of these two options to start the set-up process.
Option A: Upload Your Photo
This is the easiest way to set-up your GWorld Mobile Card.
Follow the Photo Upload Instructions
It will take up to two business days for the GWorld team to review your photo. You will receive an email confirmation when your photo has been approved. To set-up a GWorld Mobile card proceed to Step 2. Or visit the GWorld Office to receive your Physical GWorld Card.
Option B: Come to the GWorld Office to Have Your Photo Taken
Come to the GWorld Office and bring your US government issued photo ID (ie: driver's license, passport, US visa, military ID, etc.). The GWorld Team will assist you in obtaining your GWorld Mobile Card or print you a physical card.

You will need the GET Mobile app to set-up your GWorld Mobile Card and manage your card accounts.
Instructions are the same for both Apple and Android devices:
- From the list of institutions, select George Washington University
- Do not select the other GW option.
- Login with your GW UserID and password.
- If successful, your name, photo, and George Washington University will appear at the top of the GET screen.

- Step 3: Complete Your GWorld Mobile Card Set-up
Click on the option to add your card to your Apple Wallet or Android phone. You will receive confirmation when your mobile card is successfully added. Congratulations! You can now start using your GWorld Mobile Card!
Having trouble setting up your mobile card: follow the more detailed set-up instructions based on your mobile device. Or contact the GWorld Office for assistance.
- VSTC Faculty & Staff who prefer a physical GWorld Card
If you are a member of the GW Virginia Science and Technology Campus community and cannot come to the Foggy Bottom GWorld Card Office for a new or replacement of your physical card, you can request your card to be shipped to the VSTC Campus. To request a card be sent to the VSTC campus, submit your photo online, and in the pick-up instructions, select the "VSTC" option. Cards are sent weekdays and are available within 2-3 business days for pickup at the security desk in Enterprise Hall.
