I don’t have official photo ID. Can I still register to vote?

Yes. However, if you register to vote without a driver license number, state ID number, or Social Security Number, then when you later go to vote in person, you might have to show documents with your name and address. Examples of documents you could show at the voting poll are a: military ID, student ID, prison ID, utility bill, and/or public benefits check.[248]

You only have to show these documents at the voting poll if ALL of the following is true:

    You registered online or by mail;
    You registered without including any driver license, state ID, or SSN information on your form; AND
    You’ve NEVER voted before.[249]
