How to print your Voter ID as a PVC card
- Download your e-EPIC PDF from the ECI voter services portal. You sign in and confirm with an OTP.
- Choose the PDF in the tool above. Most e-EPIC files open straight away with no password.
- The tool finds the front and the back, whether they are on one page or two, and shows both.
- Keep 600 DPI. Add bleed only for an edge-to-edge card printer.
- Download both sides, or the A4 print sheet. Print at 100% scale.
About the e-EPIC
The e-EPIC is the digital version of the Elector Photo Identity Card, issued by the Election Commission of India. The ECI calls it a self-printable digital voter ID. So printing it is the intended use, not a trick.
Passwords
The e-EPIC PDF usually opens with no password. Some downloads are locked. Then the password is generally your EPIC number. The tool only asks if your file is really locked, so just try opening it first.
Why the e-EPIC is easy to crop
The e-EPIC is already drawn at nearly card shape. That makes it one of the easiest documents for the tool to find. If a side still looks wrong, open Crop not right? Adjust, pick Front or Back, and drag the box onto the card.
Printing tip for Voter ID
Your photo is the largest picture on the card. On a home inkjet, 300 DPI is enough; on a card printer use 600. The PVC card print size guide explains the settings in full.
