If you don't have a passport or birth certificate, there are still other forms of identification you can use depending on the context.
You will need to provide proof of identity and address. Acceptable documents include driving licenses or utility bills instead of a passport or birth certificate.
If you're looking to vote and don't have accepted ID, you can apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate.
Here’s a summary of acceptable documents for each context:
| Context | Acceptable Documents |
|---|---|
| Registering a Birth | National health number, driving licence, utility bill, marriage certificate |
| Voting | Voter Authority Certificate (if no ID), driving licence, utility bill |
If you're registering a birth, you may want to confirm your identity with a driving licence or other bills. If voting, consider applying for the Voter Authority Certificate if you lack other forms of accepted ID.
