In order to obtain a CaneCard, dependents must first procure a UM ID # (informally known as a C#). If the dependent does not have a UM ID#, they should go to https://caneid.miami.edu/createnewaccount.aspx and follow the instructions to obtain a CaneID.

It is vital that dependents use their authentic Social Security Number to obtain a CaneID account. Accounts created without an authentic Social Security Number will be considered invalid and subject to termination.

After creating a CaneID, the dependent will obtain a UM ID # (a.k.a. C#). At this point, the dependent should visit Allen Hall Room 111 to obtain their CaneCard.

Dependents must be accompanied by the employee they are a dependent of and must have a picture ID to receive their CaneCard. Unaccompanied dependents will not be issued a CaneCard.
