# Government issued

Apply for a Voter Authority Certificate

You can use a Voter Authority Certificate to vote in person in some elections and referendums in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales).

Issued by the electoral services team at your local council, the certificate displays the elector's name and photograph only.

The Voter Authority Certificate is solely for voting purposes and is not valid for demonstrating proof of age, as it does not display the holder's date of birth.

Ensure you apply for the certificate before the deadline, which is 5pm on the sixth working day before polling day.
