Voter ID Verification Online — How to Verify Voter ID Card on NVSP Portal

What is Voter ID Verification?

Voter ID verification is the process of checking whether your name is registered in the electoral roll (voter list) and confirming that your Voter ID card (EPIC — Electors Photo Identity Card) details are correct. The Election Commission of India (ECI) provides free online tools to verify your Voter ID through the Voters' Services Portal (formerly known as NVSP — National Voter's Service Portal).

Voter ID verification is useful for:

• Checking if your name is in the voter list before elections
• Verifying your polling booth and constituency details
• Confirming your EPIC number and personal details
• Downloading your e-EPIC (digital Voter ID card)
• Finding your Booth Level Officer (BLO) contact information

Who Can Verify Voter ID Online?

• Any Indian citizen aged 18 years or above who has applied for a Voter ID card
• Citizens who have already been enrolled in the electoral roll
• Anyone who wants to check if their name is in the voter list of any state or union territory

Note: You do not need to log in or create an account to search the electoral roll. However, downloading e-EPIC requires login with your registered mobile number.
