Can I collect passport numbers from participants in Rhode Island? What are the requirements?

Based on the documents provided, it appears that collecting passport numbers from participants in Rhode Island is not a requirement for voter registration or identification purposes. The only identification numbers required for voter registration are a valid Rhode Island driver’s license number, Rhode Island State ID number, or the last 4 digits of the applicant’s Social Security number ^[1.2]. If an applicant has not been issued any of these identification numbers, they will be assigned a unique identification number for voter registration purposes by the CVRS ^[1.1].

For proof of identity at the polling place, acceptable forms of identification include a current and valid document that includes a photograph of the person to whom the document was issued, such as a Rhode Island driver’s license, Rhode Island voter identification card, United States passport, or identification issued by a United States educational institution, among others ^[2.2].

Therefore, it is not necessary to collect passport numbers for voter registration or identification purposes in Rhode Island.

If you need further information, you can contact the Rhode Island Board of Elections at 401-222-2340 or visit their website at ^[2.1][4.1].
