# eventIdentifier

A unique identifier for the event.

```
var eventIdentifier: String! { get }
```

## Discussion

You can use this identifier to look up an event with the EKEventStore method [`event(withIdentifier:)`](/documentation/EventKit/EKEventStore/event(withIdentifier:)).

If the calendar of an event changes, its identifier most likely changes as well.
