ID requirements

Make sure you have a proper ID for online testing

Please remember to review any program-specific ID policies on your exam program’s homepage prior to your appointment.

General:

• All IDs must be valid government-issued in their original form (not a photocopy)
• Acceptable IDs include: International travel passport; driver’s license; identification card (national, state, or province ID card); alien registration card (green card or permanent resident/visa)
• By law, certain IDs must not be photocopied, digitized, or captured on camera. Because of this, Pearson VUE cannot accept restricted IDs as identification for online testing, including the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Common Access Card (CAC) or certain secure access IDs.
