For U.S. Citizens
OMB Control No. 3265-0015 		

General Instructions
Who Can Use this Application
If you are a U.S. citizen who lives or has an address
within the United States, you can use the application in
this booklet to:
•	 Register to vote in your State,
•	 Report a change of name to your voter registration
office,
•	 Report a change of address to your voter registration
office, or
•	 Register with a political party.

How to Submit Your Application
Mail your application to the address listed under
your State in the State Instructions. Or, deliver the
application in person to your local voter registration
office. The States that are required to accept the
national form will accept copies of the application
printed from the computer image on regular paper
stock, signed by the applicant, and mailed in an
envelope with the correct postage.
First Time Voters Who Register by Mail
If you are registering to vote for the first time in
your jurisdiction and are mailing this registration
application, Federal law requires you to show proof
of identification the first time you vote. Proof of
identification includes:
•	 A current and valid photo identification or
•	 A current utility bill, bank statement, government
check, paycheck or government document that
shows your name and address.
Voters may be exempt from this requirement if they
submit a COPY of this identification with their mail in
voter registration form. If you wish to submit a COPY,
please keep the following in mind:
•	 Your state may have additional identification
requirements which may mandate you show
identification at the polling place even if you meet
the Federal proof of identification.
•	 Do not submit original documents with this
application, only COPIES.

Exceptions
Please do not use this application if you live outside
the United States and its territories and have no home
(legal) address in this country, or if you are in the
military stationed away from home. Use the Federal
Postcard Application available to you from military
bases, American embassies, or consular offices.
New Hampshire town and city clerks will accept this
application only as a request for their own absentee
voter mail‑in registration form.
North Dakota does not have voter registration.
Wyoming law does not permit mail registration.
How to Find Out If You Are Eligible to Register to
Vote in Your State
Each State has its own laws about who may register and
vote. Check the information under your State in the
State Instructions. All States require that you be a United
States citizen by birth or naturalization to register to vote
in federal and State elections. Federal law makes it illegal
to falsely claim U.S. citizenship to register to vote in any
federal, State, or local election. You cannot be registered
to vote in more than one place at a time.

If You Were Given this Application in a State
Agency or Public Office
If you have been given this application in a State
agency or public office, it is your choice to use the
application. If you decide to use this application to
register to vote, you can fill it out and leave it with
the State agency or public office. The application
will be submitted for you. Or, you can take it with
you to mail to the address listed under your State
in the State Instructions. You also may take it
with you to deliver in person to your local voter
registration office.
Note: The name and location of the State agency
or public office where you received the application
will remain confidential. It will not appear on your
application. Also, if you decide not to use this
application to register to vote, that decision will
remain confidential. It will not affect the service
you receive from the agency or office.

How to Fill Out this Application
Use both the Application Instructions and State
Instructions to guide you in filling out the application.
•	 First, read the Application Instructions. These
instructions will give you important information that
applies to everyone using this application.

Use these instructions to fill out Boxes 6, 7, and  
refer to these instructions for information about

Application Instructions
Before filling out the body of the form, please answer the questions on the top of the form as to whether you are a
United States citizen and whether you will be 18 years old on or before Election Day. If you answer no to either of these
questions, you may not use this form to register to vote. However, state specific instructions may provide additional
information on eligibility to register to vote prior to age 18.
Box 1 — Name
Put in this box your full name in this order — Last,
First, Middle. Do not use nicknames or initials.
Note: If this application is for a change of name, please
tell us in Box A (on the bottom half of the form) your
full name before you changed it.

Box 7 — Choice of Party
In some States, you must register with a party if you
want to take part in that party’s primary election,
caucus, or convention. To find out if your State requires
this, see item 7 in the instructions under your State.
If you want to register with a party, print in the box the
full name of the party of your choice.

Box 2 — Home Address
Put in this box your home address (legal address). Do
not put your mailing address here if it is different from
your home address. Do not use a post office box or
rural route without a box number. Refer to state‑specific
instructions for rules regarding use of route numbers.

If you do not want to register with a party, write “no
party” or leave the box blank. Do not write in the word
“independent” if you mean “no party,” because this
might be confused with the name of a political party in
your State.
Note: If you do not register with a party, you can still
vote in general elections and nonpartisan (nonparty)
primary elections.

Note: If you were registered before but this is the first
time you are registering from the address in Box 2,
please tell us in Box B (on the bottom half of the form)
the address where you were registered before. Please
give us as much of the address as you can remember.

Box 8 — Race or Ethnic Group
A few States ask for your race or ethnic group, in order
to administer the Federal Voting Rights Act. To find
out if your State asks for this information, see item 8
in the instructions under your State. If so, put in Box 8
the choice that best describes you from the list below:
•	 American Indian or Alaskan Native
•	 Asian or Pacific Islander
•	 Black, not of Hispanic Origin
•	 Hispanic
•	 Multi‑racial
•	 White, not of Hispanic Origin
•	 Other

Also Note: If you live in a rural area but do not have a
street address, or if you have no address, please show
where you live using the map in Box C (at the bottom
of the form).
Box 3 — Mailing Address
If you get your mail at an address that is different from
the address in Box 2, put your mailing address in this
box. If you have no address in Box 2, you must write in
Box 3 an address where you can be reached by mail.
Box 4 — Date of Birth
Put in this box your date of birth in this order —
Month, Day, Year. Be careful not to use today’s date!

Box 9 — Signature
Review the information in item 9 in the instructions
under your State. Before you sign or make your mark,
make sure that:

Box 5 — Telephone Number
Most States ask for your telephone number in case
there are questions about your application. However,
you do not have to fill in this box.

(1) You meet your State’s requirements, and
(2) You understand all of Box 9.

Box 6 — ID Number
Federal law requires that states collect from each
registrant an identification number. You must refer to
your state's specific instructions for item 6 regarding
information on what number is acceptable for your
state. If you have neither a drivers license nor a social
security number, please indicate this on the form and a
number will be assigned to you by your state.

OMB Control No. 3265-0015 	

Finally, sign your full name or make your mark, and
print today’s date in this order — Month, Day, Year.
If the applicant is unable to sign, put in Box D the
name, address, and telephone number (optional) of the
person who helped the applicant.
