Identification Policy

You must bring two valid and unexpired forms of identification, as detailed below, printed in English.

The forms of identification presented must be original (not a photocopy or digital ID) and cannot be damaged.

You will not be permitted to test without proper identification. If you are refused admission, you will not receive a refund or transfer of fees.

The first identification must be government issued and must have a clear photograph and your signature.

Examples include:

• Driver's license
• State-issued identification card
• United States military ID (with visible signature)
• Passport
• United States Permanent Resident card (with visible signature)

The second identification can be another form of identification listed above or one that has either a photo or a signature.

Examples include:

• Social Security card
• Student ID
• Work ID

Please note the following:

• If you are bringing a valid and unexpired U.S. government-issued identification that does not contain a visible signature or has an embedded signature, your second identification must have both a clear photograph and your signature.

IMPORTANT: Your name must exactly match the identification presented at the time of testing or you will not be able to take your exam, with the following clarifications:

• Your middle initial in your account on this website must match the middle name or initial on your ID.
• If you have a hyphenated last name or two last names, one of the following must be true of your name as it appears in your account on this website and on your ID:
  
  
  • either both instances must use the complete hyphenated name or both last names

  or

  • if one instance only uses one last name, it must be the second last name

If the name on your identification differs from the name provided during registration, you must bring official, legal documentation of the name change. A photocopy will not be accepted.

Examples of this documentation include:

• Marriage certificate
• Divorce decree
• Certificate of naturalization
• Court order for a name change
