An Electoral Identity Card is only supplied for the sole use of voting in person at elections - an Electoral Identity Card cannot be supplied for any other reason.
This is the new enhanced version of the online Electoral ID application service.
Before you apply, check if you are registered to vote and that you do not have any other form of accepted photo identification that can be used to vote - full details are online at What Photo ID do I need to vote?
The online service has a number of privacy conditions. These are described in our Privacy/Data page, which also contains details of our conditions of service.
