Identification cards issued by the EBC can either be blue, red or orange in colour based on the citizenship of the registrant.

Registration Rule 14 (3) of the Representation of the People Act, Chapter 2:01 states:

“The print on an identification card in the Form set out as Form No. 11A in the Prescribed Forms Rules issued –

  1. to a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, whether an elector or

not, shall be in the colour blue; 

  1. to a Commonwealth citizen other than a citizen of Trinidad

and Tobago, whether an elector or not, shall be in the

colour red; 

  1. to a person other than those described in paragraph (a) or

paragraph (b), shall be in the colour orange.”
