Voter ID Requirements

Nebraska requires voters to show photo ID when voting in person. This requirement applies to all statewide and special elections.

Acceptable photo IDs must show your name and photo. Valid photo IDs include:

Nebraska driver’s license or state ID

  • U.S. passport
  • Military ID
  • Tribal ID
  • Hospital, assisted-living facility, or nursing home record
  • Nebraska political subdivision ID (state, county, city, school, etc.)
  • Nebraska college or university ID

Expired photo IDs are accepted.

You can get a free Nebraska state ID for voting from the DMV. If you were born in Nebraska and need a birth certificate to get a free state ID, you can get a free certified copy of your birth certificate from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. Note: A birth certificate is not a valid form of photo ID.

If your eligibility cannot be confirmed at the polling place, for example, if your name does not appear on the voter list for that location or if you do not present an acceptable photo ID, you may be asked to vote a provisional ballot. If you vote a provisional ballot, you must present an acceptable photo ID to your local election office no later than the Tuesday after Election Day or sign a reasonable impediment certification for your vote to be counted.

Reasonable impediments include illness or disability, lack of documents required to obtain a photo ID, or a religious objection to being photographed.
