The Voter ID card, officially known as the EPIC (Electors Photo Identity Card), is a crucial document issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI). It enables Indian citizens aged 18 and above to vote in national and state elections and also serves as a valid proof of identity and address in numerous official processes.
You can apply for a Voter ID if you’re a new voter (age 18+), have relocated, or need to correct errors such as name, address, date of birth, or photograph. UrbanDox ensures that every step of the process is handled correctly—be it selecting the right form (like Form 6 for new registration or Form 8 for correction), uploading compliant documents, or resolving issues like duplicate entries.
Your Voter ID is more than just a voting credential. It is a vital government-issued identification that is accepted by banks, offices, and public sector services. An incorrect or outdated Voter ID can result in voting ineligibility or rejection during KYC and verification processes.
Top reasons to apply or correct your Voter ID:

As valid ID proof for bank accounts, passports, and more
To rectify spelling mistakes, incorrect addresses, or photos
To link your voter details with Aadhaar (for EPIC authentication)
