Request an accommodation to vote or register to vote in NH

What counts as "proof" of identity, age, and citizenship?

You will need to prove your identity, age, and citizenship in order to register to vote. Here are some methods you can use to prove:

A driver’s license or non-driver ID from any state satisfies proof of identity and age.
A birth certificate, U.S. Passport/Passcard, or naturalization document satisfies proof of citizenship.

It is important to know that New Hampshire Real ID compliant driver’s license is not proof of U.S. citizenship. You will need to provide a passport/passcard, birth certificate, or other document in conjunction with your driver’s license.

If you do not have any of these items, you can prove your age, identity, and domicile in front of an election official while under oath.

What is a domicile?

A “domicile” is where you live, often called a residence. Most New Hampshire driver’s licenses or non-driver IDs have your current domicile address and will satisfy this requirement.

Other proof of domicile documents are:

A document from the school you attend showing you live on campus or your off-campus residence address. This could be an on-line resource from your school that can be shown on your phone to the election official.
A note signed by a school official, including a Resident Assistant (RA)
A rental agreement such as a lease or similar document that shows your name and your address. The document must prove that you will live there on Election Day, November 3, 2020
A document showing that you own the place you are domiciled at, such as a deed, property tax bill, or similar document with your name and address
A current, unexpired NH resident motor vehicle registration
A current, unexpired NH driver’s license
A current, unexpired NH non-driver photo ID
A voter photo ID issued by the NH Division of Motor Vehicles
A document showing that you enrolled a dependent minor child in a public school that serves the town or ward of your domicile
Any state or federal tax form, other government form, or government issued identification (ID) that shows you name and domicile address
Any form from the US Post Office showing your name and physical address where you are domiciled (this cannot be a P.O. Box)
A utility bill, such as for electric, telephone, water, gas, or other utility bill with your name and address on it
A note from a homeless shelter or other service provider located in the town or ward where you will vote that confirms they will receive US mail sent to you at that address
