What identification will I need to vote in person on election day or during early voting?

Here is a list of the required forms of Photo IDS:

• Texas driver license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
  
• Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS
• Texas personal identification card issued by DPS
• Texas concealed handgun license issued by DPS
• United States military identification card containing the person's photograph
• United States citizenship certificate containing the person's photograph
• United States passport  

When a voter arrives at a polling location, the voter will be asked to present one of the seven (7) acceptable forms of photo ID (listed below). Election officials are required by current State law to determine whether the voter's name on the identification provided matches the name on the official list of registered voters ("OLRV"). After a voter presents their ID, the election worker will compare it to the OLRV. If the name on the ID matches the name on the list of registered voters, the voter will follow the regular procedures for voting. If the name does not match exactly but is "substantially similar" to the name on the OLRV, the voter will be permitted to vote as long as the voter signs a simple affidavit stating that the voter is the same person on the list of registered voters.

 

With the exception of the U.S. Citizenship Certificate, which does not expire, for voters aged 18-69, the acceptable form of photo identification may be expired no more than four years before being presented for voter qualification at the polling place. For voters aged 70 or older, the acceptable form of photo identification may be expired for any length of time if the identification is otherwise valid.

OR, if you don't have one of the seven photo IDs listed above, you may sign a simple form and present one of the documents below.

• Valid voter registration certificate (card)
• Certified birth certificate
• Current utility bill
• Bank Statement
• Government check
• Paycheck
• Any other government document with a voter's name and address

Note:

• Addresses on ID and voter registration need not match.
• Election officials/poll workers may not question you about voter ID issues.

Do I need to bring my voter registration card to vote?

Your voter registration card is not required to vote but we recommend that you have it with you when you cast a ballot in-person because it can be very helpful if there is any question about your registration and what districts are included on your ballot.
