Gather your paperwork. At least one of the following must be presented to obtain Barbados identification: a birth certificate, marriage certificate, valid passport endorsed by the chief immigration officer, a registered affidavit, a registered deed poll, decree of absolute citizenship, permanent resident or immigrant documents issued by the Barbados immigration department, a work permit valid for 6 or more months or a student visa valid for 6 or more months. If possible, documents should be certified.
Bring a photograph, such as a passport picture, for use on your identification card. Do not wear anything that covers your head, sunglasses or tinted lenses in the picture.
Present your documentation in person. Applications must be made at the Electoral and Boundaries Commission in the N.I.S Building on Fairchild Street in Bridgetown. Identification cards cost $25 as of 2010. You will also need to pay a fee to replace a lost, stolen or damaged identification card.
