# Proper Identification 

You are required to bring two (2) forms of current, not expired, 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:

-   Driver’s license 
-   Signature-bearing Social Security card 
-   Clinic card 
-   Credit card
-   Library card 
-   State-issued identification card 
-   US Passport 

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 your name change (a copy of an official document such as a marriage license or divorce decree) to the test center.

**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!
