Exam ID Requirements

Accounting Principles and High Court Enforcement exam ID requirements

Your On-Boarding Agent will check your ID and system settings before handing you over to your ‘Exam Proctor’ to start your exam. You will be required to present one form of identification:

ID must be current, valid (i.e. not expired), and contain your name exactly as registered, photograph and signature:

· A valid/ current passport of any country

· A government issued photo driving licence (full or provisional)

· A government issued state/country identification card

· A government issued alien registration card, green card or permanent resident’s visa

You will not be admitted to the test, and will lose your fee, if you fail to present the correct identification or have not completed the system test prior to the exam taking place.
