ID Requirements

Acceptable Forms of ID

• 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

If you are a refugee, or have been granted political asylum, or for any other reason are not able to meet the identification requirements for the location you will be testing from, please contact testsecurity@gmac.com at least 10 business days before you plan to schedule an exam. You must receive approval from test security for an identification requirement exception prior to scheduling your exam.

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.
