Abstract

See full text

Improved methods and systems for automated, self-service issuing of a card or other object to an individual. The system can include a self-service issuing machine that is configured to issue a card or object to a user, allow return of the card or object back into the machine, and later reissuing of the card or object to the same or different user. The machine can be used in a number of applications, including with an access control system that controls access into and throughout a building(s). The machine can be configured to dispense temporary re-usable badges to employees, contractors, and visitors. The badges can be returned to the machine, which stores the returned badges for later re-issuance to a later user needing a temporary badge. The machine can also integrate with an enterprise access control system that controls access to a number of dispersed building sites.
