[ID Card Login](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/sso?hsLang=en#id-card-login) August 29, 2026 # Sign in with an ID card ## Students and staff whose district issues SchoolDay ID cards can sign in by presenting the card or scanning its QR code instead of typing anything. If your district issues SchoolDay ID cards, you can sign in by presenting your card instead of typing a username and password. Your district decides whether ID card sign-in is available and who gets a card. ### Requirements - Your district has enabled ID card login. Admins do this per organization, see [Enable ID card login for your organization](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/enable-id-card-login?hsLang=en). - An active card assigned to you. A card that has been deactivated or has expired will not work. - A device with a webcam, badge reader, or camera capable of scanning QR codes. - You must grant camera permission when prompted. ### Sign in 1. Go to your district's SchoolDay sign-in page. 2. Click **Sign in with ID Card**.  ![Login with ID Card (QR Code)](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/SP%20ecosystem/Login%20form/Login%20with%20ID%20Card%20(QR%20Code).png?width=344&height=778&name=Login%20with%20ID%20Card%20(QR%20Code).png) 3. (Optional) If you are denied camera permissions, grant access to the camera on your device to scan the unique QR code on your ID card. ![Acsess Camera](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/SP%20ecosystem/ID%20Card%20administrative%20tool/Acsess%20Camera.png?width=421&height=220&name=Acsess%20Camera.png) 4. Hold your physical ID card so your device’s camera is as close as possible to its QR code. 5. You reach your SchoolDay landing page. ### If you do not have your card Ask your teacher or a staff member for a temporary card. Temporary cards work immediately and take only a few minutes to issue. ### Verify 1. You reach your SchoolDay landing page rather than returning to the sign-in page. 2. The apps your district assigned to you are listed. ### Troubleshooting | **Symptom** | **Likely cause** | **Fix** | | --- | --- | --- | | The card is not accepted | It has been deactivated or has expired | Ask your school admin to check it in **Administration** \> **ID Card Administration** | | The card is accepted but signs in the wrong person | The card is assigned to another user | Report it to your school admin immediately and stop using the card | | The QR code will not scan | Damaged print, glare, or a dirty camera lens | Clean the lens, avoid direct light, and ask for a replacement card if the print is worn | | The ID card option is not on the sign-in page | Your district has not enabled ID card login | Ask your school admin | | A new student's card does not work | The card has been created but not assigned or activated | Admins: see [Create and activate an ID card](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/create-activate-id-card?hsLang=en) and [Assign an ID card to a student](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/assign-id-card-student?hsLang=en) | | The card worked yesterday and not today | The card may have been deactivated, or the student's roster record changed | Ask your school admin to check both | ### Next steps -
