Voter ID: how to register, correct or transfer your card
Getting a Voter ID or updating your voter details is easier when you know which service you actually need. Whether you're registering for the first time, correcting your details or updating your address, here's a simple guide to the most common voter services.
New voter registration — Form 6
If you're registering as a voter for the first time, Form 6 is used for new voter registration. You'll generally need proof of age, proof of residence and a recent photograph. The application may also involve verification before your name is added to the electoral roll.
Update or correct your details — Form 8
Already registered but need to fix something? Form 8 can be used for eligible corrections and updates, such as changes to your name, photograph or address. Make sure the supporting document matches the information you're requesting to update.
Moving to a new address?
If you've shifted residence, check the current voter-service process for updating your electoral-roll details at your new address. The applicable form and verification requirements can depend on your situation.
