PIMA COUNTY RECORDER

Documents To Prove Citizenship

Most voters will satisfy both Proof of Citizenship and Proof of Residency by using their Arizona Driver’s License or AZ-issued ID.
More Document Options
  • If you have an Arizona Driver’s License or non-operating license issued after October 1, 1996, write the number in Box 9. This will serve as Proof of Citizenship and no additional documents are needed.
  • If you were not a U.S. citizen when your license was issued, but later became a U.S. citizen, complete Box 11 or provide another form of Proof of Citizenship.
  • Legible copy of a birth certificate that verifies citizenship. If the name on the birth certificate is not the same as your current legal name, submit supporting documents (e.g. marriage certificate)
  • Legible copy of the pertinent pages of your passport
  • Presentation to the County Recorder of U.S. naturalization documents, or your Alien Registration Number, Naturalization Certificate Number, or Citizenship Certificate Number (Box 11)
  • Indian Census Number, Bureau of Indian Affairs Number, Tribal Treaty Card Number, or Tribal Enrollment Number (Box 10)
  • Legible copy of your Tribal Certificate of Indian Blood or Tribal or Bureau of Indian Affairs Affidavit of Birth
