Per gov.uk/cofrestru-i-bleidleisio: "Gofynnir am eich rhif Yswiriant Gwladol (ond gallwch gofrestru o hyd os nad oes gennych un)." ("You will be asked for your National Insurance number — you can still register if you do not have one.")
cyfeiriad
Current Wales address
Required: Address where you live in the relevant Welsh principal-area council
Your address determines which of the 22 council Electoral Registration Officers receives your application and which Senedd Cymru constituency, Welsh local ward, and UK Parliament constituency you register in.
ERO-discretion follow-up identity documents
Requested by: Council Electoral Registration Officer, only if the automatic National Insurance number check does not match
Typical request: Passport, birth certificate, utility bill, or a signed attestor declaration
Request shape is at the council ERO's discretion under the Representation of the People Act 1983; no fixed documentary checklist applies at form submission.
