What do I need to bring with me to the test center?
You must bring your admission ticket and acceptable and valid identification document(s) with a signature and photograph. Your ID will be checked before you are admitted. ID requirements are in the Registration Bulletin and on this website. For paper-based tests, you must also bring 3 or 4 sharpened soft-lead (No. 2 or HD) pencils with good erasers. See the Registration Bulletin for information about other items to bring to the test administration for specific tests.
My last name has changed since I registered, what do I do about identification document(s) on test day?
The name on your registration record should match your primary identification document. However, if you were married or divorced between the time you registered for the test and the day of the test and your registration has your maiden name and your ID has your married name (or vice versa), you may bring a marriage certificate or divorce decree issued between the registration date and the actual test date.
