NYPD ID CARD RENEWAL – March 25, 2026
For those members that reside locally, the ID card Section
(646-610-5150) is now on 2nd floor at One Police Plaza, opposite the Operations Unit
They will only renew a retiree ID card that has less than 3 months before expiration date or already expired. Please do not go at the end of month due to numerous active MOS retiring and it is very crowded. Using the above number, call beforehand to make sure there is no promotion on the day you are going because it can get crowded and active will have priority.
For those out of state members, please follow the instructions when mailing in ID cards. I have received ID cards mailed to me using regular first-class mail. The issue with this is that it is not tracked and, therefore, not guaranteed that I will receive it. The Priority Mail procedure provides a tracking number so that the ID card can be accounted for throughout the entire mailing process.
If your ID card is lost or stolen, you must make a police report with your local precinct or police department for lost or stolen property and a copy of the report must accompany the ID card application. The application will not be processed without a report.
The NYPD card section has been using the photo that is in their system since November of 2002. If your ID card was issued prior to this period, you will have to appear at the ID Card Section in person to take a new photo. You cannot send in a passport photo or a jpeg file photo to update the picture.
ONLY cards issued after November 1, 2002, can be renewed this way. In all other circumstances, members will have to personally visit 1 P.P.
Renewal of Transit ID card that is expired or nearing expiration.
The following procedure for ID Card renewal is to be followed for pre-merger retired Transit and Housing PD that live out of State. RSA members should no longer send their ID card renewals to the RSA ID Card Desk. The below guidelines only apply to Transit and Housing ID Card renewals.
For the retirees that live out of state, the member can email a copy of their driver’s license and ID card and in the body of the email they can put their name, address, and a phone number where they can be reached. Also, the member needs to attach a digital photo (jpg file) of themselves from the waist up in front of a red or a neutral-colored background (please no hats or sunglasses).
Any questions regarding this procedure, call the NYPD Transit Bureau Personnel Unit at 1-718-610-4660 and they will be more than happy to walk them through the process.

HR 218/LEOSA QUALIFICATIONS
Regarding HR218/LEOSA qualifications, if your ID card does not have an expiration date, it does qualify as a valid ID card under the provisions of the laws. Unless you want to get a current photo on your ID card, you are not required to do so to satisfy the qualification. Also remember that out-of-state, some police departments that do the qualifications will require a current ID card so make sure that you check your expiration dates.
A completed PD form MUST accompany the card. The form is on the accompanying page of this procedure and can be downloaded from our website: nationalnycpd10-13.org of the individual club’s website.
Additionally, ID card expiration date will be increased from 5 to 8 years.
If your card has no expiration date, you do not need to have a new card issued. Your card is perpetually current- Keep it.
To ensure security in the transfer of cards to and from our members the following procedure MUST be adhered to:
Items MUST be sent to the National in a USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail envelope. You will receive a tracking number from the post office. DO NOT REQUEST SIGNATURE OF RECIPIENT. The postage is $11.95.
Place in the envelope: your PD ID card, the completed PD Form, and a check in the amount of $11.95 made out to National 10-13 (to cover the cost of priority mail return of your new card).
