Voter ID Card: Voting in Another Municipality
What is a voter ID card?
Would you like to vote in a municipality other than the one where you are registered? If so, you will need a voter pass. With a voter pass, you can vote at any polling station in the Netherlands for the election for which the pass was requested. Please note: a voter pass is not the same as a voting pass. A voting pass is only valid in your own municipality.
How do you apply for a voter ID card?
You can apply for a voter ID card at the municipality where you are registered. There are two ways to do this:

What to Look Out For
Applying for a voter ID card is final. You cannot cancel it if you change your mind. Have you lost your voter ID card? If so, you cannot apply for a new one. Unfortunately, you will not be able to vote. Please also note that you can only vote with the original voter ID card. A copy is not valid.
