Your LittleLink ID card links your physical card to your digital public profile. Before you can start checking children in, your card needs to be activated. Once active, you can also view its QR code, add emergency contacts to individual cards, track scans, and manage card settings from your account.
When your card arrives
Once your card has been printed and delivered, go to Manage Cards from the left-hand menu in your account. This is where you can view your card and complete activation.

You can also move a child between cards later if needed during daily use.
