Domestic Partner Gator1 IDs

Verification of eligibility for a UF student’s domestic partner to obtain a Gator1 ID card is performed by Student Legal Services. Once an appointment is confirmed, both the student and the partner must be present and provide the proper documentation.

This service is available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.; however, the student must first complete a Client Intake Form (see below).

PLEASE NOTE: Student Legal Services does not process domestic partner ID card requests for faculty or staff. Contact Gator1 Central – ID Card Services at 352-392-8343 for faculty/staff requests, or click here to visit the Gator1 Central – ID Card Services website and learn more.

The STUDENT must fill out our Client Intake Form. The domestic partner may NOT submit this form on the student’s behalf. We cannot process the request until the student has submitted this form.

At your appointment, present the following required documentation:

• Student Gator 1 ID

At least ONE of the following that demonstrates shared residency:
