- Matai Title Confirmation Letter or Passport, if registering under a matai title
- If making changes due to relocation or health reasons, provide supporting documents such as official letters or utility bills
Samoans living overseas can begin their registration online at https://eis.oec.gov.ws. However, biometric verification, including fingerprinting, must still be completed in person in Samoa.
With the election timeline brought forward, overseas voters are urged to adjust their travel plans and return to Samoa early, before the electoral roll officially closes.
For those unable to attend during the listed dates, registration is also available at the Commission’s office at Mulinu‘u, as well as through mobile services announced separately.
