Identification

Acceptable Forms of ID

When registering with a deputy registrar, you are to furnish two (2) forms of identification, one of which must include your current name and residence address. Identification shall include, but is not limited to:

  • Driver's License
  •  Social Security Card
  •  Employee ID Card
  •  Student ID Card
  • Credit Card
  •  Library Card
  •  Insurance Card
  •  Selective Service Card
  •  Civic Membership Card
  •  Fraternal Membership Card
  •  Union Membership Card
  •  Professional Association Membership Card
  •  Utility Bill
  •  Checkbook

Residence may also be verified by the use of telephone books, city directories, school records, and utility records. Utility bills in the name of one spouse may be used as proof of residence for both husband and wife.

If you are using a one-page document called “motor voter”, you will only need one of these ideas the first time you vote.
If an applicant has not updated the address on the driver’s license, proof of residence can be any letter mailed to him/her at the present address, postmarked within the last 30 days.
