UK Parliamentary General Election 4 July - Don't forget photo ID

If you are voting in a polling station at the UK Parliamentary General Election on Thursday 4 July, you 'll need to show an eligible form of photo ID.

 

You may already have a form of photo ID that is acceptable. You can use any of the following:

·         Passport issued by the UK, any of the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, a British Overseas Territory, an EEA state or a Commonwealth country

·         Driving licence issued by the UK, any of the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, or an EEA state (this includes a provisional driving licence)

·         Blue badge

·         Certain concessionary travel cards

·         Biometric Immigration document 

·         Defence identity card 

·         Certain national identity cards

·         National identity card issued by an EEA state

·         Voter Authority Certificate

 

You can use an out-of-date photo ID as long as the photo still looks like you.

 

If you are voting by proxy for someone in their polling station on 4 July, remember you'll also need to take an accepted form of photo ID with you.
