A Steam Hex ID is the 15-character or 16-character hexadecimal identifier that GTA RP servers use to register your player profile. FiveM roleplay servers (including QBCore, ESX, and custom frameworks) require this code during whitelist applications to grant server access.
Without your valid Steam Hex ID, whitelist bots and server staff cannot connect your Steam account to their database. Here is how to find your Steam Hex ID quickly.
What Is a Steam Hex ID in GTA RP? #
In GTA RP, your Steam Hex ID is your permanent 64-bit Steam account number expressed in base-16 notation. It almost always begins with 1100001 for standard consumer Steam accounts.
Server developers use this format because FiveM and SQL databases parse hex values efficiently. Unlike your Steam display name, which you can change at any time, your hex identifier never changes.
| Detail | Example Value |
|---|---|
| Raw Steam Hex ID | 1100001000056ba |
| FiveM Identifier (Formatted) | steam:1100001000056ba |
| Standard SteamID64 | 76561197960287930 |
As covered in our Steam Hex ID for FiveM & GTA RP guide, this identifier binds your inventory, vehicles, and house keys directly to your Steam license.
How to Find Your Steam Hex ID in 3 Steps #
Follow these steps to find your Steam Hex ID:
Copy your Steam profile URL:
- Open your Steam desktop app or open Steam in your browser.
- Click your profile name in the top navigation bar.
- Right-click anywhere on your profile page and select Copy Page URL. (For example:
https://steamcommunity.com/id/your_custom_nameorhttps://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960287930).
Paste your link into the resolver tool:
- Go to the SteamID Converter homepage.
- Paste your profile link or vanity username into the input box and click Search.
Copy your Steam Hex ID:
- Look at the Steam Hex card in your result screen.
- Click Copy. You now have your exact identifier ready for your application.
Should You Submit Raw Hex or the `steam:` Prefix? #
Whether you include the steam: prefix depends on the platform hosting the whitelist application:
- Google Forms or Web Applications: Most manual human-reviewed applications accept both formats, but writing
steam:1100001...ensures server admins know which identifier you provided. - Discord Whitelist Bots (Ticket Bots): Many Discord bots require the exact prefix
steam:1100001000056baso their backend scripts can parse the ACE permission command directly. - In-Game Whitelist Scripts: If a server interface provides a dropdown labeled "Steam", enter the raw characters
1100001000056bawithout the word steam.
If an application form does not specify instructions, check our tutorial on how to whitelist a player by Steam Hex in FiveM for typical server configuration rules.
Why Steam Must Run Before Launching FiveM #
FiveM checks your PC for active game licenses when it initializes. If Steam is not running in the background when you launch FiveM, the game client cannot generate your Steam ticket.
If you join a GTA RP server while Steam is closed, you will receive this connection error:
Connection rejected by server:
Identifier Missing: steam
Please launch Steam and restart FiveM.To resolve this issue:
- Close FiveM completely.
- Open the Steam desktop application and log in.
- Verify that your Steam status displays as online.
- Launch FiveM and connect to your server.
Troubleshooting Common Whitelist Errors #
If server staff reject your whitelist application due to an invalid Steam Hex ID, verify these three items:
- Do not submit your custom vanity URL name: Entering
john_doeinstead of1100001...will cause the bot or database query to fail. - Check for uppercase letter issues: Hex characters are case-insensitive in mathematics, but some MySQL databases are configured with binary collations. Always use lowercase letters (
1100001a, not1100001A). - Private profile setting does not matter: Your Steam privacy settings do not hide your SteamID64 or your Steam Hex ID. The converter calculates your hex value using public mathematics.
Frequently Asked Questions #
What is my Steam Hex ID in GTA RP? #
Your Steam Hex ID is the hexadecimal version of your permanent Steam Community ID, starting with 1100001. GTA RP servers use it to link your character data and whitelist approval.
Do I include steam: when filling out a GTA RP whitelist form? #
If the application form or Discord bot asks for your Steam Hex without formatting instructions, include steam: (for example, steam:1100001000056ba). If the form specifies raw hex only, enter the numbers without prefix.
Why does FiveM say my Steam identifier is missing? #
This error occurs when you launch FiveM while the Steam desktop client is closed. Exit FiveM, open Steam on your PC, log in to your account, and restart FiveM.
Does changing my Steam display name change my Steam Hex ID? #
No. Your Steam Hex ID is derived from your permanent 64-bit account number. Changing your Steam username, avatar, or vanity URL does not change your hex ID.
