Your new photo will be used when your card is renewed, or if you step up to be a Team Leader. We do not print new ID cards merely to replace the photo, because that would be a waste of your tax dollars. | Your new photo will be used when your card is renewed, or if you step up to be a Team Leader.

== Uploading your new ID photo == | |||
# Log in [https://pbem.link/miplogin to MIP]. | |||
# At top right, select '''My Profile'''. | |||
# Select '''Additional Info'''. | |||
# In the '''ID Card Photo''' field, choose the '''Select''' button and upload your file. | |||
# ''Make sure your mailing address is current!'' We can only mail to the single address in your MIP profile, no exceptions. Verify and update it under '''My Profile''' > '''Contact Information'''. | |||
# You're done! | |||
== What happens after I upload my photo? == | |||
PBEM staff are automatically notified, and will issue your new ID card as part of a periodic batch. Please do not email us; we know that your new file was uploaded. :-) | |||
You will be notified via email when your ID card is put in the outgoing mail, so that you can keep an eye on your mailbox and ensure that it arrives. A strangely high number (around 8%) disappear in transit -- and even more are returned, stamped "UNDELIVERABLE". See #5 in the previous section. | |||
