You can register to vote online, and Newcastle-under-Lyme says that’s the quickest and easiest way to do it. The application usually takes around five minutes, and if you’re eligible you’ll need a few details ready.
| What you need to register | Details |
|---|---|
| Main way to apply | Register to vote online |
| Information needed | Date of birth, National Insurance number, name, address |
| If you can’t find your National Insurance number | Check payslips, letters from the Department of Works and Pensions (DWP), or your national insurance card |
| What happens next | The council checks your identity with DWP, may ask for more information if needed, and then sends a confirmation letter when your registration will go live |
If you’re in a special situation, Newcastle-under-Lyme also has separate routes for service voters, overseas voters, people with no fixed address, and anonymous registration.
