In order to be admitted into the Prometric testing center, you must bring a valid and current (non-expired) form of government-issued identification. Your identification must include:
- English characters/translation
- your photograph and
- your signature
If your government-issued identification does not display a photograph or a signature, a secondary form of identification may be used, which includes a photograph and/or signature (whichever is missing from the government-issued identification), and your name printed on the identification. All identification must be current (non-expired)
All forms of identification being presented at the testing center must match your name exactly as it appears on the scheduling notification. Your identification documents must be in good condition, and cannot be bent, frayed, taped, cracked or otherwise damaged in any way. The identification documents must be the originals, and cannot be photocopies. You will not be permitted to test if the name on your identification documents does not exactly match the name on your scheduling notification, or if your identification is damaged. Neither ASQ nor Prometric will make any exceptions to this policy.
If you do not provide the appropriate and/or matching identification, you will not be permitted to test. If you still wish to take the exam, you will be required to apply for reexamination and pay the reexamination fee in order to take the exam at a later date, when valid identification is available.
The following are acceptable forms of government-issued identification:
- Valid driver's license
- Valid military ID
- Valid passport
- Valid national identification card
The following are acceptable forms of secondary identification:
- Valid employee ID
- Valid credit card with signature
