Be sure to have the number of regular and SAR Manager ID cards you are requesting (they come 4 cards to a sheet), as well as the address you wish the blank ID cards mailed to. The blank cards along with a Service Request Form (K1497) will be shipped to you.

STEP TWO - PROCESSING ID CARDS

• Do not cut blank ID cards out of sheet (return them whole).

• Fill out the cards with the appropriate information
• If errors are made, do not use white out or correction markings of any kind. Mark VOID and use another blank ID card.

STEP THREE - PHOTOS

• You are required to supply the photos for the IDs. Good Polaroids are acceptable.
• Head size of photo should be 2 cm from top of the head to chin.
• Subject should be on a white background preferably.
• Do not put subject too close to background when taking photo, as the shadow from the flash will intensify. Allow lots of area to show around subject (it will be trimmed later).
• If using a 135 mm camera, with a standard lens (50 mm), subject should be 12ft from camera.
• Legibly print the name of the individual on the back of photo using a quick drying pen.
• If quality of photo is poor, or if photos are the wrong size, they will be returned and further time delays will be incurred..
• DO NOT TRIM PHOTO, OR ATTACH TO CARD.

STEP FOUR - RETURN SHIPMENT

• Complete Service Request Form (K1497) and include your email address on it.
• Ship Service Request Form, photos along with ALL ID CARDS (including blank and void ones) in an envelope marked "Photos - Do Not Bend" on both side of the envelope
• Mail package to address above (recommend Express Post)
• PAYMENT OF A FEE IS NO LONGER REQUIRED (March, 2007)

NOTE: SAR Alberta ID card orders will take time to process. Please wait 6 weeks after you've shipped your cards in, before following-up to inquire about your order.
