In Utah, lawmakers are considering a requirement to prove citizenship to vote in state and local elections, though it wouldn’t affect federal elections. In Minnesota, citizens are being asked to prove their citizenship to immigration agents. Only 60% of citizens in Utah had a valid passport in fiscal year 2024 , according to the Center for American Progress. Real ID-compliant driver’s licenses do not prove citizenship. A birth certificate does prove citizenship, and people born in the U.S. can request a certified copy from their home state’s office of vital records, but they can be cumbersome to bring everywhere.
