Quick answer: A PVC voter ID card is printed in standard CR80 size: 85.6 × 54 mm (8.56 × 5.4 cm, about 3.37 × 2.13 inches), the same as an ATM card. Use the e-EPIC PDF from the official portal, or a flat, well-lit photo of both sides of your card, for the sharpest result.
Many people search for the exact size of a voter card before getting it printed. This guide gives the dimensions of a standard PVC card and explains what file quality gives a clean print.
Standard dimensions
| Unit | Width × Height |
|---|---|
| Millimetres | 85.6 × 54 mm |
| Centimetres | 8.56 × 5.4 cm |
| Inches | 3.37 × 2.13 in |
| Thickness | About 0.76 mm (standard card thickness) |
This is the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 size used by bank cards, driving licences and most wallet cards, commonly referred to as CR80 in the printing trade. It fits standard card holders, wallets and card readers.
Why sizes on paper cards differ
Older laminated voter cards and printouts of the e-EPIC are usually larger or differently proportioned than a plastic card. When a PVC copy is made, the source layout is scaled to fit the card, so tiny text may look smaller than on a paper printout. That is why a high-quality source file matters.
How to prepare a good source file
- Prefer the e-EPIC PDF. It has the sharpest text and a scannable QR code. See how to download it.
- If using a photo, place the card flat on a plain surface in daylight, keep the phone parallel to the card, and include all four corners.
- Avoid glare and shadows on the photo and QR code.
- Do not crop, filter or edit the file. We print what is supplied.
- File type and size: JPG, PNG, WEBP or PDF up to 5 MB.
Common mistakes
- Uploading a screenshot of a screenshot, which blurs text.
- Uploading a cropped section that hides the EPIC number or QR code.
- Expecting corrections to be made during printing. Corrections must be done in the electoral roll; see the forms guide.
