What ID types does Nametag accept? 

Nametag accepts most government-issued IDs, such as driver’s licenses and passports, as long as they include your name, photo, and date of birth.  (Northwood ID cards cannot be used.)

I submitted my ID for review. Now what?

Nametag will verify your ID. If it’s approved, you’ll get a notification, and you can also check the status in the Nametagmobile app.

What if Nametag doesn’t work for me?

If verification fails several times, submit your ID for manual review. Nametag’s staff will verify it securely and privately.

How do I delete my data from Nametag?

You can use the Nametag app to revoke access or delete your information entirely. Keep in mind this may make future verification slower.

Is Nametag secure?

Yes. Nametag is committed to protecting your data and privacy. Your consent is required each time you verify your identity, and you can revoke access or delete your data at any time using the Nametag mobile app. Nametag does not sell your data.

I have more questions. Who can I contact?

For more information on security, consent, and privacy, visit Nametag’s FAQ and submit an IT Security support request to connect with our Northwood University Security team.
