1. What is e-EPIC & Official Status
An e-EPIC (Electronic Electoral Photo Identity Card) is a secure, portable digital version of the Voter ID issued in PDF format by the Election Commission of India.
Under ECI statutory notifications, a printed or mobile-stored e-EPIC is officially recognized for voter identification at polling booths, and accepted as proof of identity across banks and government institutions.
2. Mobile Linking Requirement
To download an e-EPIC, your unique mobile number must be linked to your EPIC record in the national electoral database. If your phone number is not linked or is shared across multiple family members, the portal will prompt you to complete a quick Form 8 mobile update first.
3. Step-by-Step Download Walkthrough
Step 1: Visit voters.eci.gov.in and log in with your registered mobile number and password.
Step 2: On the dashboard, click the 'E-EPIC Download' card.
Step 3: Select search by 'EPIC No.' or 'Form Reference Number'. Enter your 10-character EPIC number and select your State.
Step 4: Click 'Search'. Your elector details (name, relative's name, state, and masked mobile number) will appear.
Step 5: Click 'Send OTP'. Enter the 6-digit OTP received on your mobile phone.
Step 6: Click 'Download e-EPIC'. A high-resolution color PDF featuring your photograph, electoral details, and cryptographic QR code will be saved to your device.
4. How to Link Mobile If Not Registered
If the portal indicates 'Your mobile number is not registered in e-Roll': Click the Form 8 link on screen. Choose 'Self' and select 'Correction of Entries' -> 'Mobile Number'. Enter your mobile number, verify with OTP, and submit. Approval typically takes 7 to 14 days, after which e-EPIC download is unlocked.
