If you want to vote in person, or think you may be voting as a proxy to someone else, you'll need to show a specific type of photo ID.

 

View list of accepted photo ID

  • The photo on your ID must look like you.
  • The name on your ID must be the same as your name registered on the electoral register.
  • You can still use your ID even if it has expired.

If you're trans or non-binary and worried about needing photo ID to vote, you don't need to use a photo ID that includes a gender marker.

Privacy screens will also be available at polling stations if you'd prefer to show your ID privately.

Don't have photo ID?

If you don't have suitable photo ID, NUS are providing a photo ID from CitizenCard for free (usually £18) using the code 'NUS' at checkout.
