If registering in person at a parish Registrar of Voters Office, you are required to prove age, residency and identity. You must submit your current Louisiana driver’s license, if you have one, or your birth certificate or other documentation which reasonably and sufficiently establishes your identity, age and residency.
If you have no driver’s license, special Louisiana ID, or social security number, you may provide a picture ID, a utility bill, payroll check, or government document that includes your name and address.
If registering at another site, no further proof of identification is required other than whatever proof is required for services received that you have applied for at the public agency.
You can register by mail by downloading the Louisiana Voter Registration Application, completing it and mailing it to your local Registrar of Voters Office.
You may also register by using a National Mail Voter Registration Form.
You can also register online. To get all the details and the link, click here. If you plan to submit electronically you must have your Louisiana driver’s license or Louisiana special ID card in hand when you begin the process. There is an audit code on the card that you must enter. The audit code is a four digit number labeled AUDIT on the front of the license.
