Proof of Legal Status
Electoral rolls (voter registration lists) are typically restricted to citizens of a country. Verifying a person's presence on the electoral register can confirm their citizenship status, which is especially important for services or transactions that require proof of citizenship.
Proof of Address
Electoral registers often contain up-to-date information on a person’s residential address. This can be used to confirm that the individual lives at a certain address, which is useful in industries like finance (for opening bank accounts), healthcare, and insurance.
Confirms Legal Age
Voter registration records include birth dates, which can help verify whether an individual is of legal age to access certain services (e.g., alcohol purchases, voting, or opening a bank account). This is particularly useful in sectors where age verification is necessary.
Cross-Border Identity Verification
For individuals living abroad, electoral records can be used to verify their identity when dealing with foreign governments or businesses. Many countries allow citizens to remain on the electoral register even if they are residing overseas, making it a useful IDV tool in international contexts.
