Yes but either way a new card would have come either with the photo or without. What we got were the old ID cards.

I contacted NHQ about my missing ID cards, and they told me that they were shown as mailed on or about 1 MAR . They advised me that they would send a new ID card, and it would take about 4-5 weeks . Today, three days later, three ID cards showed up in the mail, in three separate envelopes.  For my saint like patience, I was rewarded with one more ID card than I ordered!

Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

What were the postmarks on them?

No post marks, since these are "bulk rate" shipped on a non-profit Org type permit, ala' junk mail. (first thing I thought to check too)  The envelopes held three identical form letters, all dated Feb 25, 2011. I suspect that they are "batching" the ID card shipments.

This will probably come as a major surprise, but guess what I got in the mail today? A new ID card! Now I have four of them. I think there may be a glitch in their system.....Can't wait to see whats in tomorrows mail!

I received my (first) ID card less than 4 weeks after joining (almost as fast as I finished level 1  ::)).  Pretty good service.  I'm still waiting for the new member packet -- maybe it's held up for budgetary reasons?

I renewed on March 31st and received my new CAP ID Card in the mail today. Two weeks isn't bad, in my opinion.

I sent in my initial membership application at the beginning of February.  I still haven't received my ID card.  I have been active in eservices since Feb. 25.   I just got my new member packet in the mail a couple days ago.

Send them an E-mail. When I mentioned I had been waiting a couple of months, the computers promptly spit out four new ID cards and sent them out.

Has anyone seen these "NEW" CAPID cards?  They are a joke!  The hologram is gone!

Now these cards looks like the crappy temporary cards I get in the US Mail box for some mail-order company.  Scratch that, those actually look better!

What in the world is going on here?  They look FAKE!

Anyone else seen these?  It's embarassing...

Does the ID card do the job it was designed to do?  What should it look like?  Remember the CAC type is a non starter per the AF

They look fine. They clearly show our identity, photograph, and that we are AF Aux. I don't know why people are getting in a bunch over these, they're lightyears better than the library cards.

I got my photo ID yesterday.  It took about three weeks.

I don't have a problem with it, other than the ugly mug on it. >:D

It says who we are, what we are and it has the Mark Of The Beast a barcode identifier.

Question: What to do with the old, plain-blue one?

Keep it, cut it up, or send it back to National?

P.S. For those of you who don't like this card...I'm sure I'm not the only one that remembers the horrible blue-and-white flimsy back in the early '90s that passed for an ID card...I'd show that to the Security Police at an AFB and they'd look at it like "whatthehellisthis?"

The only thing I see about the design is that they could have chosen a larger font for the name to make it stand out a little more and easier for someone unfamiliar with the ID to locate it.

I talked to them...  They said ID cards don't get sent out till the background check and finger print card results come back and they're backlogged on that.

The latest OPen Cockpit has a good article about how the IDcards are processed and mailed.

I have been waiting a week and a half... I hope they do not take too much longer as I have quite a few activities I am suppose to go to. I personally think they should send out both a "Library Card" one (which works great for putting in your  butt pack on the LCE) and a Photo one...

You can print a temporary ID from eServices.
