# Proper Identification 

You are required to have two (2) forms of official ID with a signature (one must be a photo identification). **Photocopies of identification will NOT be accepted**. All identification must be current (not expired), and no birth certificates will be accepted. Examples of proper identification include:

• Driver’s license   
• Social Security card   
• Clinic card (example — Medicaid ID card)   
• Credit card   
• Library card   
• State-issued identification card   
• US Passport   
• United States Uniformed Services ID with photo   
• High School ID with photo   
• Signed High School ID card — (must have signature line)   
• University ID with photo   
• Signed University ID card — (must have signature line)  
  
The name on your identification must be the same as the name you used on the application to register for the examination.  
**If you do not bring proper identification, you will not be allowed to test and your examination fee will not be refunded.**

**IMPORTANT**: If you can’t take the test because of this, it still counts as one of your 3 chances to take the exam because you were not prepared — please have the correct forms of identification!
