Acceptable ID Types for Utah

All voters in Utah are mailed a ballot to the address associated with their voter registration. If voting by mail, no ID is required. Voters in Utah must show acceptable ID at the polls to vote. Valid forms of identification include;

One photo ID:

  • A valid Utah driver’s license
  • A valid US passport
  • Any other photo ID issued by the state of Utah or by the U.S. government, and a tribal identification card regardless of whether it contains a photo.
  • A valid Utah permit to carry a concealed weapon
  • A currently valid US military ID card

OR TWO non-photo IDs that, when combined, prove your name and current residence. These IDs include examples such as;

  • A current utility bill or copy thereof dated within 90 days before the election
  • A bank or other financial account statement, or legible copy thereof
  • A certified birth certificate
  • A valid Social Security card

A full list of valid non-photo IDs can be found here.

What happens when you go to vote without an ID

If you are a registered voter but do not present a valid ID at the polling place, you may cast a provisional ballot.

In order for your ballot to count, you must present an acceptable form of ID to your county clerk or an election officer by the close of business on the Monday after the election.
