Acceptable ID

ID to Add, Remove or Update Voters on the Voters' List

Use Voter Registration to check, update, add or remove your information from the voters list. You must upload one piece of ID showing both your name and home address, unless you are requesting a name change. Alternatively, you can complete a paper application form.

To change your legal name on the voters' list, including the use of a spouse or partner’s name, you must upload the following two pieces of ID: 

  • A marriage certificate or a change of name certificate issued by a provincial/territorial registrar AND one piece of ID showing your current name and home address;

OR

  • One piece of ID showing your previous name and home address AND one piece of ID showing your current name and home address.

Acceptable ID includes most documents issued by the Government of Canada, the Government of Ontario or a municipality in Ontario. 

Note: a passport is not a form of accepted ID since the qualifying address is written in by the passport holder
