WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PROOF OF RESIDENCE FOR VOTER REGISTRATION?
o Proof of Residence and photo ID are two separate processes. A Proof of Residence document is
a document that proves where you live in Wisconsin and is only used when registering to vote.
o Photo ID is separate, you only show p
hoto ID to prove who you are when you request an absentee
ballot or a ballot at your polling place.
WHEN DO I HAVE TO PROVIDE PROOF OF RESIDENCE?
All voters MUST provide a Proof of Residence Document when registering. If you register to vote by mail, in-
person in your clerk’s office, or at your polling place on Election Day, you need to provide a Proof of
Residence document. If you register online at
http://myvote.wi.gov, your valid State of Wisconsin driver
license or State of Wisconsin ID card issued by the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) qualifies
as a valid Proof of Residence document.
*If you are an active military voter, or a permanent overseas voter (with no intent to return to the U.S.) you do
not need to provide a Proof of Residence document.
WHAT DOCUMENTS CAN I USE AS PROOF OF RESIDENCE FOR REGISTERING?

of the card holder, but not including a business card.
