• A second form of identification must be any of the items listed below and must be photo-bearing. 

• Current, non-expired driver’s license 

a. Candidates who do not have their new license by exam day must bring their expired driver's license and their temporary permit. 

• Current, non-expired learner's permit
• Military Identification 

b. Sponsor military identification and a dependent military identification may be used when present with a valid SS card.

The name listed on the identifications must be the same as the name used to register for the exam, including suffixes and hyphens. If your name has changed, then you must complete the steps below at least ten (10) calendar days before your scheduled exam.
