Voter ID

The Government introduced a requirement for voters to show photo ID when voting at a polling station.  Most voters may already have photo ID that will be accepted, such as:

• Passport
• Photocard Driving licence (including provisional licence)
• Blue badge
• Certain concessionary travel cards
• Identity card with PASS mark (Proof of Age Standards Scheme)
• Biometric Immigration document

For a full list of accepted photo ID, please visit the Electoral Commission website (Opens in a New Window).

More resources regarding Voter ID can be found here.

What if I don't have an acceptable form of photo ID?

If you don’t already have an accepted form of photo ID, or you’re not sure whether your photo ID still looks like you, you can apply for a free voter ID document, known as a Voter Authority Certificate (Opens in a New Window).

Do I need photo ID to vote by post?

You will not need to provide photo ID to vote by post.  This is because there are other identification checks both when you apply for a postal vote.  You will be asked to provide your national insurance number when you apply and may need to provide further documentation if requested.  When completing your postal vote, your signature and date of birth will be checked against your original application.
