How to Crop and Print Your Voter ID (e-EPIC) Card
The Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC) is the official voter identification document issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI) under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. With the launch of e-EPIC (electronic Electoral Photo Identity Card), registered electors can download a portable, non-editable, digitally secured PDF copy of their voter card directly from the official ECI Voters' Services Portal (voters.eci.gov.in).
According to the Election Commission of India, a printed copy of the e-EPIC possesses identical legal validity to the original PVC card dispatched by post for exercising your franchise at polling booths and for general KYC identification across banks, telecom operators, and government registries. Carrying a full A4 sheet to the voting booth or airport is inconvenient. Our specialized browser-based layout engine converts your e-EPIC document into standard ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 (CR80) PVC wallet dimensions in four simple steps:
Upload PDF
Select your e-EPIC PDF downloaded from voters.eci.gov.in or the official ECISVEEP Voter Helpline mobile app.
Password Unlock
If prompted, enter your EPIC number in uppercase. The decryption runs entirely in your local browser memory.
CR80 Normalization
The system crops front and back faces to exact 85.60 × 54.00 mm dimensions with 2px cutting lines.
Print or Download
Download separate 300 DPI Front and Back PNG images or print the ready-to-cut A4 sheet with 0.35cm margin.

CSC VLE & Cyber Cafe Printing Guide for Voter ID Cards
During election cycles and general identity verification drives, cyber cafes and CSC centres experience high voter card printing demand. Here are the three commercial fabrication methods:
- 250 GSM Glossy Paper + 250 Micron Heavy Lamination (Recommended):
Print the A4 layout on heavyweight glossy photo paper (250+ GSM). Cut along the 2px perimeter border. Place the aligned front and back sides inside a thick 250-micron ID card lamination pouch. Feed through a 4-roller pouch laminator preheated to 125°C–130°C. This produces a stiff, waterproof, and durable card built for lifelong citizen wallet use. - Inkjet PVC Dragon Sheet Printing (Solid Core):
Print on inkjet printable PVC dragon sheet (A/B film). Sandwich with a 0.46mm opaque white PVC core and feed through a flatbed pouch laminator. Punch out the card using a manual CR80 desktop die cutter. The result is a solid plastic smart card identical to an official bank card. - Thermal Dye-Sublimation Direct-to-Card (DTC) Printers:
For operators equipped with Zebra, Evolis, or Magicard printers, download the individual Front PNG and Back PNG files. The 1011 × 638 pixel resolution matches CR80 dimensions without any further editing.
How Citizens Can Download Their Official e-EPIC PDF
If you or your customer do not have the original e-EPIC document yet:
- Visit the official portal at voters.eci.gov.in.
- Log in using your registered mobile number or EPIC number and verify via OTP.
- Click on the "E-EPIC Download" service icon.
- Enter your EPIC Number or Form Reference Number and select your resident State.
- Click "Search" to verify voter details, then click "Send OTP" to the registered mobile number.
- Enter the OTP and click "Download e-EPIC". The PDF password is your EPIC Number in uppercase.
- Upload that downloaded PDF file directly into ID Makers for instant PVC conversion.
Troubleshooting Common Voter ID (e-EPIC) Issues
- Password Incorrect Error: ECI passwords are your 10-character EPIC number in strict UPPERCASE letters without hyphens or spaces (e.g.,
ABC1234567). Watch out for lookalike characters such as capitalOversus number0, or capitalIversus number1. - Older State Portal Formats: Newer e-EPICs (downloaded from voters.eci.gov.in since 2021) contain standard vector layout cards. If you have an older non-vector scan, download a fresh e-EPIC directly from the national portal to guarantee automated vector cropping.
- Print Scaling & Trimming: When printing the generated A4 layout, always select "Actual Size" or "100%" scale in your printer software. Do not use "Fit to Page" as that shrinks the physical card width below the standard 85.6mm wallet format.
Frequently Asked Questions About Voter ID Printing
Common questions from citizens and CSC operators about Voter ID (e-EPIC) card formatting and legal validity.
Is a printed e-EPIC legally valid at polling booths?
Yes. As declared by the Election Commission of India, a printed e-EPIC is completely valid as proof of identity for voting at polling stations during Lok Sabha, Vidhan Sabha, and local body elections, provided the voter's name appears on the current electoral roll.
What is the password for an e-EPIC PDF?
The password for the e-EPIC PDF is your unique 10-character alphanumeric EPIC Number (e.g., ABC1234567) entered in UPPERCASE letters without spaces.
Is my voter identity data uploaded or saved?
No demographic data or EPIC details are ever permanently stored. Documents are transmitted securely via TLS 1.3 to an isolated, non-networked processing sandbox (-dSAFER -dNONETWORKACCESS) for precision rasterization, and temporary files are permanently purged within one hour via automated server cleanup.
What is the correct physical card size for a Voter ID Card?
The standard size is exactly 85.60 mm by 54.00 mm (CR80 standard), matching standard credit cards and identity cards.
Can I print multiple Voter ID cards on a single sheet of A4 photo paper?
Yes. By utilizing our 0.35cm top margin layout, the card is positioned at the top of the A4 page. Cyber cafe operators can re-insert the paper or use our Multi-Card tool to combine up to 5 cards on a single A4 sheet to eliminate paper waste.
Is ID Makers affiliated with the Election Commission of India?
No. ID Makers is an independent document layout utility designed for citizens and print kiosks. We do not register voters or modify electoral rolls. All official voter services must be conducted on voters.eci.gov.in.
