You MUST bring the following with you to the test site:
Your
admission ticket
Several
sharpened No. 2 pencils with erasers
(no pens); pencils will not be supplied at
the test site
Proper
identification as described in "Identification
Policy" below
Identification Policy
You must bring to the test administration a current,
government-issued identification, in the name in which you registered, bearing your
photograph and signature. Copies will not be accepted.
Acceptable forms of government-issued identification include photo-bearing driver’s licenses and
passports. The Department of Motor Vehicles provides acceptable photo-bearing identification cards
for individuals who do not have a driver’s license.
Unacceptable forms of government-issued identification include student and employee identification
cards, social security cards, draft classification cards, and credit cards. If you have any questions
regarding acceptable photographic identification, call NES before the test date.
If the name on your identification differs from the name in which you are registered, you must bring
official verification of the change (e.g., marriage certificate, court order).
If you do not have proper identification as described above, you must report directly to the
Information Table at your test site; complete a personal identification information form, which
includes providing a thumbprint; and certify, under penalty of perjury, that you are the
person you purport to be. Your official score report will not be
released unless you present proper identification as described above no later than 30
calendar days after the test date. In addition, you will not be able to access your
unofficial scores online. Instructions for providing proper identification after the test date
will be provided at the test site. If you do not provide documentation of your identification
within 30 calendar days after the test date, your scores will be permanently voided and will not
be reported to you or to the CTC.
If you do not have proper identification, you will be denied admission to the test session unless
you complete a personal identification
information form and certify, under penalty of perjury, that you are the person you purport to be.
As part of the identity verification process, your thumbprint will be taken at the test site. Thumbprints will be used only for the
purpose of identity verification. If you do not provide a thumbprint, you will not be allowed to test and you will not receive a refund or
credit of any kind. Note that a thumbprint provided at the test administration does not fulfill the fingerprint requirement for California
certification.
See "Test
Site Rules" for information about what
is not allowed at the test site.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PROPER IDENTIFICATION OR YOUR
ADMISSION TICKET, PLEASE REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE INFORMATION
TABLE AT THE TEST SITE. YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE
ADDITIONAL PAPERWORK, WHICH MAY REDUCE YOUR AVAILABLE
TESTING TIME.
