# Proper Identification 

Candidates are required to bring two (2) forms of official, signature-bearing identification to the test site (one of which must be a photo identification). Photocopies of identification will NOT be accepted. Examples of proper identification include **current, not expired: Primary ID (Photograph and signature, not required)**

-   Government-issued Driver’s license  
-   U.S. Department of State Driver’s License  
-   U.S. Learner’s Permit (plastic card only with photo and signature) 13 
-   National/State/Country ID card 
-   Passport 
-   Passport Card 
-   Military ID 
-   Military ID for spouses and dependents 

**Secondary ID (Signature, not expired)** 

-   U.S Social Security 
-   Debit (ATM) card or Credit Card
-   Any form of ID on the Primary List 
-   State-issued identification card
-   Employment authorization document (EAD) photo identification card (current, not-expired, federal-issued) 

The name on your identification must be the same as the name you used on the application to register for the examination. If your name is different, you **MUST** bring proof of name change (a copy of an official document such as a marriage license or divorce decree) to the test center.   
  
**If you do not bring proper identification, you will not be allowed to test and your examination fee will not be refunded.**
