STEP 2: WHAT TO BRING
If you've voted before using your current address, you are NOT required to show ID or proof of residence. But it's still a good idea to bring an ID with you if you have one.
If this if your first time voting at your current address, you may be asked to show proof of identity and current address. To be safe, please bring along one or two of the following that establish your identity and current address:
- Nevada driver’s license or Nevada ID card
- U.S. passport
- ID issued by Nevada or the federal govement
- Student ID card
- Tribal ID card
- Military Identification
- Utility bill, mortgage, rental or lease receipt
- Bank statement or credit card statement
- Government letter, check or paycheck
- Property tax statement
- Car registration

Note: It is okay for your ID to show a different address than your current registered address. But, be sure to also bring one of the above showing your current address too.
