Testing within your country of citizenship

The following government-issued ID documents are acceptable for admission to a test session within your country of citizenship:

• Passport with name, photograph and signature
• Passport Card with name, photograph and signature (must be accompanied by an acceptable supplemental ID)
• National ID with name, photograph and signature
• Government-issued driver's license with name, photograph and signature (including provisional driver's license). A mobile driver's license is not acceptable.
• State or Province ID card, including those issued by motor vehicle agencies with name, photograph and signature
• Military ID with name, photograph and signature (Not allowed for at-home testing. If a military ID is your only acceptable ID, you must take the exam at a physical test center.)

If your primary ID does not contain a signature, you can present a supplemental ID with photo and signature or a supplemental government-issued ID with a photograph, as long as they are in the same name you used when you registered.

Testing outside your country of citizenship

If you are not a U.S. citizen and you are testing in the United States:

• You must present a valid passport with name, photograph and signature.
• If your passport is not written in English-language letters, you must also present at least one Supplemental ID Document. This document must also contain your name, a recent and recognizable photo and be in English.
• Diplomatic or embassy IDs cannot be used in place of a passport.
  

Acceptable documents if presented with supplemental ID

The following documents may be acceptable for admission to U.S. test centers if presented along with an acceptable supplemental ID. If you are in the process of renewing the document and have only the expired document in your possession, you may present the expired document together with the government-issued extension letter.

• Permanent resident card/Resident alien card
• Temporary resident card
• Employment authorization card
• Mexican border crosser card (This form of ID may be accepted only at test centers within 25 miles of the Mexican border.)
  

Driver's license renewals

• For physical test centers only: If you are in the U.S. military and the expiration of your driver's license has been extended or deferred by the issuing state, it can be used as supplemental ID along with your U.S. military ID card. Depending on the state, the extension or deferral may consist of a sticker on the license, the designation "military" printed in place of an expiration date, or a separate document carried with the license, usually with a notation that the license is valid until a specific amount of time after discharge from service.
• If your driver's license has expired but you present it along with your Original Department of Public Safety renewal certificate, the two documents together can be accepted if the names match exactly. If you have a temporary paper license in lieu of a renewal certificate, that is acceptable only if it is accompanied by an acceptable supplemental ID.
