Boston ID Replacement InformationPublic Safety has upgraded ID cards. The new ID cards that we have upgraded to, have the magnetic stripe on the back plus a chip called iCLASS. This is new technology and is more convenient and more secure than the older cards. There is no cost to the employees or students for these initial cards, however, as of April 1st, 2011, there will be a replacement fee for any lost ID cards of twenty dollars.Click herefor more information.
