4.3 Voter ID - what you need to know

To vote in person in England and Northern Ireland, or in UK-wide elections held in Scotland and Wales (general elections), voters must now show an accepted form of photo ID.

Accepted forms of ID include:

• UK passport or driving licence (including provisional licences)
• A PASS card (Proof of Age Standards Scheme)
• Blue Badge, Older Person’s Bus Pass, Oyster 60+ card and other government-issued ID

The ID can be expired – as long as the photo still looks like the voter.

You only need to show one form of ID, and it must be the original version (no photocopies).
