Voter Identification
All registered Missouri voters can vote on election day, but you will be asked to show an ID. Learn what forms of ID are acceptable.

Acceptable Forms of ID for Voting
- A nonexpired Missouri driver or non-driver license;
- A nonexpired military ID, including a veteran’s ID card;
- A nonexpired United States passport; or
- Another photo ID issued by the United States or the state of Missouri which is either not expired or expired after the date of the most recent general election.
Learn how to obtain a photo ID.
Voting Without Identification
If you do NOT have a State of Missouri or federally issued photo ID, but you are registered to vote, you can still vote at your polling place by casting a provisional ballot on Election Day.
Your provisional ballot will count if:
- you return to your polling place on Election Day with a photo ID; or
- the signature on your provisional ballot envelope is determined by your local election authority to match the signature on your voter registration record.
Acceptable Forms of ID for Registering to Vote

- A Missouri driver or non-driver license;
- United States passport;
- Naturalization Papers;
- Missouri I.D.;

- Social Security Card (signed);
- Medicare or Medicaid Card;
