Voters must show photo identification (ID) before they vote at a polling station. This could be a photo driving licence, passport, older persons bus pass or PASS card. A full list of the ID documents we can accept is available on the Electoral Commission website.
If you don’t already have any of the accepted forms of ID, you can apply online for a Voter Authority Certificate – this is a free photographic identification document. Applications for Voter Authority Certificates can be made online at GOVUK - Voter Authority Certificates. Applications can also be made by post or in person at The Council House, Avenue Road, Malvern WR14 3AF. Please contact Electoral Services 01684 862200 for further information.
If you are voting as a proxy on behalf of another elector you will need to present your own ID, not the ID of the person you are voting on behalf of.
If you have recently changed your name or your name on the Register of Electors does not match the name on your ID, you may be asked to provide further documentation.
