Before taking your CBIC exam, please ensure you bring the correct identification. Proper ID is required to verify your identity and avoid delays or missed testing appointments. It is highly recommended to review the CBIC Identification Policy. 

Required Identification 

You must present a valid government-issued photo ID that includes:    

• A clear photo 

• Your signature 

• Your first and last name exactly as listed on your exam registration 

If your ID is not in Latin characters (English letters), you must also bring a secondary ID that includes your name and signature in Latin characters.  

Acceptable IDs: 

Testing Center Exams Only: 

*Regarding Citizenship Cards, there are two versions: a physical card and a paper-based version. Prometric does not accept any paper-based identification. Only physical, government-issued identifications that meet Prometric’s security requirements are accepted. 

Remote Proctored Exams Only: 

Note: Credit cards, library cards, insurance cards, and Social Security cards alone are not accepted for remote testing.  

*Prometric does not accept Military IDs for remote testing, as the U.S. Department of Defense does not allow Military IDs to be photocopied. Since remote testing requires capturing a photo of the ID, this would be considered a photocopy and is therefore not permitted.  

Important Reminders:

• Your name on your ID must match your exam registration exactly 

• Bring a secondary ID if your primary ID lacks a signature (Please refer to Acceptable IDs chart) 

• Expired IDs may only be accepted with proof of renewal 

• Incorrect or missing ID may result in a missed appointment 

Preparing yourself in advance helps ensure a smooth exam day experience. Please feel free to review the complete CBIC Identification Policy on the CBIC website. If you have any questions, please email info@cbic.org.
