Acceptable proof includes a valid U.S. passport, a U.S. certificate of naturalization, a U.S. Department of State consular report of birth abroad, or an original, certified birth certificate from a U.S. birthplace. If a voter does not provide proof of citizenship 14 days before the 2025 general election, their registration is canceled, and they receive a notice with instructions to re-register.
