What ID do I need to vote in Arizona?

Arizona accepts a single photo ID that shows the voter's name and address. A valid Arizona driver license or non-operating ID card works. So does a tribal enrollment card or other tribal ID, or a valid U.S. federal, state, or local government-issued ID.

A county board of supervisors may authorize the use of voting centers in place of or in addition to designated precinct polling places. A voting center lets any voter in that county receive the appropriate ballot and cast it on election day after presenting identification.

A voter who cannot present acceptable identification at the polls votes a conditional provisional ballot. That ballot is counted only if the voter provides proof of identity to the county recorder by 5:00 p.m. on the fifth business day after a general election that includes a federal office.

To vote a full ballot in Arizona a registrant must provide documentary proof of citizenship. Accepted proof includes an Arizona driver license or ID number issued after October 1, 1996, U.S. naturalization documents or Alien Registration Number, a U.S. passport, a birth certificate with supporting documentation, or tribal enrollment or Bureau of Indian Affairs numbers.

An applicant who attests to U.S. citizenship but does not provide documentary proof of citizenship is registered as a federal-only voter, eligible to vote only in federal elections until documentation is provided. As of April 1, 2025, Arizona had 26,089 federal-only registrants statewide, including 21,551 in Maricopa County, 1,418 in Pinal County and 333 in Pima County.

Arizona HB 2492 (2022) requires county recorders to reject any state voter-registration application not accompanied by satisfactory evidence of citizenship. For federal-form applications lacking such proof the recorder must attempt to verify citizenship within 10 days using databases such as ADOT, the Social Security Administration and USCIS records. A recorder failure to reject a non-conforming state application is a class 6 felony.
