Identification Options for Voter Registration

Missouri Voter Registration

To receive a permanent voter card, versus a temporary card, you will need to provide one of the below forms of identification at the time you register to vote.  You can still register to vote without identification, however, you will receive a temporary voter card which only means you must provide additional identification when casting your ballot on election day.  
  • Driver’s license or Non-Driver License
  • Passport
  • Military ID
  • ID from university, college, or technical school
  • Utility bills or bank statements with your name and address
  • Government check or other document with your name and address

On Election Day

Missouri New Voter ID Law (HB 1878)

The voter ID law removes previously accepted, officially issued forms of identification such as university IDs, state IDs issued from other states, and voter registration cards.

The only forms of acceptable ID to take to the polls on election day include:

o   Current (or expired since after November 2020 election) Missouri driver's license or nondriver's license 

o   Current or unexpiring military ID

o   Current U.S. Passport

For anyone who lacks valid voting ID, you can still vote:

  • They will need to request a provisional ballot at the polls
    • Their ballot will be placed in a special envelope with blanks to fill out with voter’s name, address, last four digits of Social Security number, and signature.
  • If the signature on their provisional ballot and their voter registration matches, their vote will count.
