Submit your photo to begin the BuzzCard process. Review the requirements below to ensure your photo is approved and your BuzzCard is ready when you need it.
Step 1: Find a Fitting Photo
Your photo must be:
- A recent, color photo of yourself with no other people or objects visible
- A centered, full-face headshot in which you face straight ahead with a neutral facial expression or natural smile
- Free of any hats, sunglasses, or other head articles that obstruct your face or hair except for religious or medical purposes
- Against a solid white background with no shadows, indentations, patterns, textures, or background scenery
- Cropped from just about the top of your head to your collarbone
- In a JPEG or PNG file format with a resolution between 500×500 and 4000×4000 pixels
Step 2: Obtain a Picture of Scan of Your Government-Issued Photo ID
You will also need to obtain a picture or scan of your government-issued photo identification in order to verify your identity. Acceptable forms of government-issued photo identification include a driver’s license or passport.
Step 3: Access BuzzCard eAccounts
- Enter your GT email to request access.
- Upload the file of your BuzzCard ID photo that you have selected.
- Submit the photo then select the “Next” button to proceed.
- Upload the file of your government-issued photo identification.
Please be sure that both of your files are ready to be uploaded to ensure that your browser does not time-out as you complete this step. If either component is missing, you will be required to resubmit both files in order to obtain your BuzzCard.
Step 4: Check Your E-Mail for Approval Confirmation
After you uploaded your documents, it will take approximately 2 to 3 business days for Swarm Support to process your submission.
Once your submission has been reviewed, you will receive an email notifying you that the review process is complete.
Please follow any instructions that this email provides you:
- If your submission is approved, no further action is needed.
- If your submission is denied, please resubmit requested files in the BuzzCard eAccounts portal
Step 8: Receive Your BuzzCard
Once your photo is approved, you’ll receive instructions to enable your Digital BuzzCard on a compatible smartphone or smartwatch. If your device is not compatible, visit Swam Support at the Pavilion to receive a physical BuzzCard.
