The following types of identification types will be accepted provided they meet ALL of the above requirements:

• Passport
• Driver’s license

• Sign the document before the test overseer, or
• Introduce a second identification proof record from the above rundown that incorporates a signature.

The name and date of birth printed on the identification proof should exactly match the name and date of birth on your confirmation letter.
