Missouri’s ID requirement for voting is as follows:

Present ONE of the following forms of personal photo ID:

Or, a document that satisfies all of the following requirements:

(a) The document contains the name of the individual to whom the document was issued, and the name substantially conforms to the most recent signature in the individual’s voter registration record;

(c) The document includes an expiration date, and the document is not expired, or, if expired, the document expired after the date of the most recent general election; and

Voters who do not currently have a photo ID can obtain one free Missouri non-driver license for the purpose of voting at their local license office. If you need help obtaining a non-driver license, contact the Missouri Secretary of State at (866)868-3245.

Provisional Ballot

If a registered voter arrives at their polling location on Election Day but does not have acceptable photo ID, they can vote a provisional ballot. The provisional ballot will be counted if one of the requirements are met:

  • a. If the voter comes back to their polling location and presents a photo ID.
  • b. If the signature of the voter on the provisional ballot envelope matches the signature in the voter registry.
