General Information: Apply to Register to Vote

You may apply to register to vote or change your voter registration name or address at any DMV office.

You can use DMV's driver's license/ID card application to apply to register to vote. Complete the first page in full (Sections A and B). Follow the instructions carefully - you must give full and complete information. Be sure to sign the form on the front. The eligibility requirements for voter registration are shown under the voter registration signature box.

You may also use the driver's license/ID card application to change your voter registration name or address. Or, you may use the separate driver's license/ID card notification form.

You are not registered to vote until your application is approved by your local registrar. Once registered, you will receive a card showing your voting location and election district. You should contact your local registrar if you do not receive this notification.

Check with the Virginia State Board of Elections at 1-800-552-9745 (TDD 1-800-260-3466) if you have questions about voter registration, the status of your application or if you do not receive your voter registration card.
