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). The deadline for applying for a Voter Authority Certificate for these elections is 5pm on Wednesday 24 April 2024.

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, including verification of your signature and date of birth, both when you apply for a postal vote and when you submit your ballot paper.
