• International travel passport: A passport is always required when taking the exam at a location outside of your country of citizenship. Expired passports are not acceptable and renewal papers do not make an expired passport valid.
• In some locations, additional forms of ID (other than a passport) may be acceptable. Be sure to check the requirements for your location.

Your ID must be current, legible, and include:

• Your name using the Roman alphabet, shown exactly as you provided when you registered, including the order and placement of your name(s)
• Date of birth that matches exactly the date provided when you registered
• A recent, recognizable photograph
• Your signature

Test Center Appointment: If you are unable to provide one form of ID that includes ALL the above elements at your test center, you will be required to present a second ID that is acceptable for your location that includes the missing elements.
