PennDOT Issuing Free Department of State Voter ID Cards

PennDOT Driver Licensing Centers Now Issuing Free Department of State Voter ID Cards

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is now offering free Department of State Voter ID cards to registered voters across the Commonwealth if the individual needs proper photo identification for voting purposes. 

The Voter ID cards are now available at driver license centers across the Commonwealth. 

The Department of State Voter ID cards are available to registered voters who do not have any other photo ID acceptable for voting, who do not possess all of the documentation required to obtain a free PennDOT non-driver photo ID, and cannot obtain the needed documentation. In order to obtain a Department of State Voter ID card, a registered voter must complete an oath affirming he or she does not have acceptable identification and then provide a name; address; Social Security number; proof(s) of residence, such as a utility bill; county; and previous name and/or address if changed within the past 12 months. 

After confirming a voter’s identity and registration with the Department of State, the registered voter will then be issued a Department of State Voter ID card valid only for voting purposes for 10 years. Act 18 of 2012 requires all registered voters to present valid photo identification before casting a ballot in every primary and general election in Pennsylvania.
