What happens if I get a new iPhone or Apple Watch?

First, you should remove your pass from the old device in the Apple Wallet app. Once your old pass is removed, you can add your pass to the new device by using the GET app.

If you are unable to remove your pass directly from the old phone itself, this can be done on your new iPhone as well. On your new device, tap your name under the iPhone’s Settings and scroll down to see a list of devices associated with your Apple ID. Tap the old device if it is listed and choose Remove Items. Restart the GET app before trying to provision on the new phone.

You may now also unlink your Tiger ID from within the Tiger ID (GET Mobile) app by following the instructions found at https://auburn.edu/administration/tigercard/new_device/.

The mobile credential is only allowed on one device at a time per student and must be always in the possession of that student.
***Please know that sharing of your mobile credential is a violation of University policy and violations of this policy will be subject to view by the Office of Student Conduct.***
