Do I need to bring anything to take a test?

Yes,  each test requires certain identification and/or documentation.

All applicants for any test must provide identification. Identification information must be valid and current including the applicant’s photo,
date of birth, signature, and physical residential address. Your identification must match your test registration information exactly.
For example, if you register providing your full middle name, your full middle name must appear on your identification presented to the test proctor.

For United States Citizens and Resident Aliens this includes items such as a driver permit or license issued by a U.S. state or territory, a U.S. Government Identification Card, a U.S. Military Identification Card, a Passport, or an Alien Residency Card.
