ID Requirements

To vote in person or apply for an absentee ballot, you will need to show ID. There are six acceptable forms of photo ID:

• Georgia Driver's License, even if expired
• Valid ID issued by any state or the Federal Government
• Valid employee ID issued by the Federal Government, the State of Georgia, or a county, city, or other government entity of Georgia
• Valid US passport
• Valid US military ID
• Valid tribal ID

If you are applying for an absentee ballot or you are a first-time registrant by mail who has not already provided a photo ID, there are five more forms of ID you can use:

• Current utility bill
• Bank statement
• Government check
• Paycheck
• Other government document

If you do not have an acceptable photo ID, you can get one free of charge from the Department of Driver Services or our office at 4380 Memorial Drive. You must provide:

• A photo identity document or approved non-photo identity document that includes your full legal name and date of birth
• Documentation showing your date of birth
• Evidence that you are a registered voter
• Documentation showing your name and residential address
