ID is not required in Minnesota unless you are voting for the first time in a federal election (Presidential or Congressional), or if you are a first-time voter who registered by mail and did not provide identification with your registration.
You will also need to show ID if you plan to register and vote on the same day.
Valid forms of ID include
- A valid Minnesota driver’s license, learner’s permit, Minnesota identification card, or a receipt for one of these documents with your current address;
- A valid registration in the precinct under a different name or address or a notice of late registration;
- A tribal identification card issued by the government of a tribe recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs;
- Another voter who is registered to vote in the precinct, or who is employed by a residential facility in the precinct and will vouch for you;
- A current student identification card with a photo.


If you do not have any of the above forms of ID you may be able to vote provisionally.
