For the first time at the May local elections taking place around the country, anyone voting in person at a polling station will be required to show an accepted form of photo ID to be able to vote.

Which forms of ID can I use to vote at a polling station?

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

• Passport

• Driving licence (including provisional licence)

• Blue badge

• Certain concessionary travel cards

• Identity card with PASS mark (Proof of Age Standards Scheme)

• Biometric Immigration document

• Defence identity card

• Certain national identity cards

What if I don’t have an accepted form of photo ID?

If you don’t already have an accepted form of photo ID, or you’re not sure whether your current ID still looks like you, you can apply for a free document known as a Voter Authority Certificate. CLICK HERE to apply for this.

Alternatively, you can complete a paper application form and send this to the electoral services team at Nottingham City Council. CLICK HERE to find out more and download a form.
