Why does my Virtual ID Card not have my picture?

We don't have a picture of you on file. The fastest way to get your picture to us is by installing the GET Mobile app (iOS | Android) and following these directions. The GET Mobile app has a photo upload feature that will get your picture on the Virtual ID Card. Please allow 24 hours for your uploaded photo to be approved and synced with our system.
Pictures taken with an iPhone tend to look better than pictures taken with an Android phone.
If you have any questions or need help with the GET Mobile app, please email GET@apu.edu.
