You will only need to show one form of photo ID. It needs to be the original version and not a photocopy. Workplace or Student IDs are not accepted unless they are also PASS accredited.
If you are voting as a proxy on behalf of another elector, you will need to bring your ID, not the original elector’s ID.
Expired documents are acceptable, as long as it looks like you.
The name on the ID must match your name on the electoral register. If you have changed your name, please contact Worcester City Council as soon as possible to update the register. On polling day, if your name has changed, you can take supporting evidence to a polling station, such as a marriage certificate or change of name deed.
No ID? No problem ...
If you do not have a form of accepted ID, or if you are not sure whether your photo ID still looks like you, you can apply for a free voter ID document, known as a Voter Authority Certificate.
