#Trans folk in the UK with voting ID conerns:
You [can] apply for a Voter Authority Certificate if:
you do not have accepted photo ID
you no longer look like the photo on your ID
the name on your photo ID is different to your name on the electoral register
If the name on your photo ID is different, you can register to vote again or take a document with you to vote that proves that you have changed your name.
