WHAT DOCUMENTS CAN BE USED FOR PROOF OF RESIDENCE?

Documents you can use as proof of residence include:

 

·      a current and valid Wisconsin driver’s license.

·      a current and valid Wisconsin I.D. card.

·      any other official I.D. card or license issued by a Wisconsin governmental body or unit.

·      any employer-issued photo I.D. card, issued in the normal course of business, but not including a business card.

·      a university, college or technical college fee card or I.D. card with your photo and current address. **

** May be used even if the card does not contain the cardholder’s address, if the educational institution provides a certified student list for use at the polling place

·      a utility bill (e.g., gas, electric, cable TV or telephone) for the period commencing not earlier than 90 days before election day.

·      a bank statement

·      a real estate (i.e., property) tax bill or receipt for the current year or the year preceding the date of the election 

·      a current residential lease which is effective for a period that includes election day (NOT for first-time voters registering by mail, however).  

·      a pay check or a government check or other document issued by unit of government.

 

Whatever form of proof you supply must contain a complete name, including both the first and last name; and a current and complete residential address, including a numbered street address, if any, and the name of a municipality.  Forms which have an expiration date must be valid on election day in order to constitute acceptable proof of residence at that election.

 

If you don’t have written proof, bring a friend (with identification) who lives in the same municipality.  This person can serve as a corroborator (witness) to verify your address.  He or she does not need to be a registered voter but must provide proof of residence, which must be in the same municipality.
