In addition to our main office at 119 West Kaley Street in Orlando, there are many places to register including any Driver's License office, public library, and most post offices. You can also register to vote by mail, but with certain restrictions listed below. 

If you are registering to vote by mail, and you have never voted in Florida, and you have not been issued a Florida driver's license, Florida identification card, or Social Security number (SS#), you will be required to provide additional identification prior to voting for the first time.  To ensure that you will not have problems when you go to vote, you should provide a copy of the required identification listed below at the time you mail your voter registration application.

You must provide a copy of one of the following photo identifications (ID) that includes your name and picture if you are a first time Florida voter who is registering to vote by mail and have not been issued a FL DL#, FL ID Card# or SS#:

Or as an alternative to the items above, you may provide a copy of one of the following documents that contains your name and current residence if you have never voted in Florida and are registering to vote by mail and have not been issued a FL DL#, FL ID Card# or SS#:

• Utility Bill
