Reply to comment by [deleted] in Just moved to DC after living overseas for 5 years. Is it too late for me to register to vote? by WhatTheFaDuck

You'd have to show proof you live in the city. The combination of a passport and lease would probably suffice and maybe a temporary license from the DMV before the physical license arrives in the mail.

Either a lease or the temporary license alone would work to get registered. A passport does not work because it doesn't have your address in it.

Yes, that's why I said the combination of a passport and lease

You don't need the passport at all, the check in person won't even look at it. A lease alone is fine.

The passport was to serve as a picture ID. They're not going to just accept a lease without picture identification

Yes, we will. I am an election worker and register people on election day. You don't need a photo to register to vote. Just your name and address. If you handed me a passport, I wouldn't even look at it.
