To register to vote, you'll need to provide some documentation that confirms your identity. Here’s what you need:
| Document Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Photo ID | Accepted forms include: |
| - UK Passport | |
| - UK Photographic Driver’s Licence (including provisional) | |
| - European Economic Area (EEA) Photographic ID Card | |
| - UK Biometric Residence Permit | |
| - Proof of Age Standards Scheme (PASS Card)* | |
| - Blue Badge, Oyster 60+ Card, or local authority-funded concessionary travel passes | |
| Note: Only original documents are accepted; expired documents are fine if the photo still looks like you. | |
| Voter Authority Certificate | If you don’t have an accepted photo ID, you can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate, which is a free photo ID for voting. |
For more detailed information on the Voter Authority Certificate and to apply online, visit the Voter ID Page. Always make sure to have original documents, as copies will not be accepted!
