It is paramount that Every Test taker of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) test reports to the test center with a required Identification (ID). The ID presented must have the same name that the individual is registered to take the test under, which is presented on the Authorization To Test (ATT) email all test-takers receive.
The Required and Acceptable ID has to be issued by the test taker’s state government or the federal government and must be currently valid and unexpired. The ID must clearly portray or display the test taker’s name and photograph unedited. Another form of ID with a signature is required if the ID presented does not have a signature of the test taker.
NOTE; The Name and the signature on the IDs must also correspond and match the name on the ATT.
A driver's license, passport or other government-issued form of identification, such as a permanent resident card, are examples of accepted forms of ID. Military ID is also accepted (Lindenmuth, 2023).
In the words of Lindenmuth, “If your name has changed since receiving your ATT, you'll need to bring all documentation concerning your legal name change with you to the test center. The only acceptable documents are divorce records, a marriage license and documentation from a court concerning a name change.”
