Overview
You must show an approved form of photo ID on voting day.
This applies to anyone voting at:
- local elections
- Greater London Authority elections
- UK Parliamentary by-elections
- UK Parliamentary general elections
Find out what identity documents are accepted as voter ID.
Only original documents are acceptable. Expired photo IDs are allowed as long as the photograph is still a good likeness of you.
If the name on your photo ID document is different from your name on the electoral register, you also need to bring a marriage certificate or deed poll certificate.
