OVERVIEW OF THE PENNID
The PennID is a unique permanent 8 digit number issued
to every employee of the Health System (paid or non-paid), School of
Medicine and the University. This numeric
identifier is used within the Penn community as a substitute for the
Social Security Number. It is a permanent identifier on each individual
and remains the same even if one leaves the Penn Community and come back
at a later point in time. PennID will never consist of a letter from
the alphabet or a special character.
Penn ID is also an essential component in the registration of
the Pennkey and password process. All PennKey's have a
corresponding PennID. Refer to our 3
Parts of PennKey for further clarification.
HOW YOUR PENNID IS CREATED
- Paid Employees - All employees paid by UPHS are
automatically generated a PennID once they accept their job position
and complete their new employee paperwork. Remember if the employee
is a rehire, their PennID carries over from their previous work experience.
- Non-Paid Employees - If you are a temporary contractor
or an employee paid by another organization, you must request a Lawson
entry when you receive their security badge. This entry will generate
a PennID. These employees need to fill out Security Photo ID Request
Form in its entirety (including Date of Birth and Social Security Number).
