North Carolina ID Needed for Voting

Identification is required of first-time voters who register by mail and do not provide proof of identification with their application. If you have voted in previous elections, or registered in person, no ID is needed to vote.

If you do need to show ID at the polls, acceptable forms include any of the following with your name and current address:

• North Carolina driver license
• Other photo ID issued by a government agency.
• A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document
• A current college/universiy photo ID card paired with a proof of campus habitation
