Voter Credential

The Voter Credential (Spanish: Credencial para Votar), also known as Elector Credential (Spanish: Credencial de Elector), INE Card (Spanish: Tarjeta INE; formerly IFE Card, Spanish: Tarjeta IFE), and Mexican Voter ID Card (Spanish: Tarjeta de Identificación de Votación Mexicana), is an official document issued by the National Electoral Institute (INE) that allows Mexican citizens of legal age to participate in local and federal elections in Mexico, in addition to being the most accepted document as official identification for all civil, administrative, commercial, labor, judicial and, in general, all acts in which, by law, the person must identify themselves. Mexican citizens living in a foreign country are issued the Voter Credential from Abroad (Spanish: Credencial para Votar desde el Extranjero) through an embassy or consulate of Mexico. It is considered the Mexican National Identity Card (Spanish: Cédula de Identidad Nacional Mexicana).
