Virginia Law requires all voters to provide an acceptable form of Identification at the polls. Voters without acceptable ID must sign an ID confirmation statement or vote a provisional ballot. You no longer need a photo ID
Acceptable forms of ID include the following:
- Virginia driver’s license
- Voter confirmation documents you received after you registered to vote
- United States passport
- Employer-issued photo ID
- ID card issued by the US, Virginia, or a local Virginia government
- Student photo ID issued by a U.S. school of higher education or a public or private high school in Virginia
- Virginia Voter Photo ID card
- Current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check, or other government document with your name and address
If you forgot your ID on Election Day, you can sign an identity confirmation statement or vote a provisional ballot in the polling place. The election officials will tell you what you need to do for the provisional ballot to be counted.
Learn more about acceptable forms of ID on the Department of Elections website.
