What must candidates present to take the examination?

Candidates must present photographic identification to take the examination. This requirement is vital because it serves to confirm the identity of the individual taking the test. The examination process is structured to ensure that those who are participating are indeed the registered candidates, thus maintaining the integrity of the testing process.

Photographic ID, such as a driver's license or passport, typically includes important information such as the candidate’s name and a photo, enabling exam administrators to verify identity easily and efficiently. This measure is standard practice in many certification exams to prevent impersonation and ensure fairness.

While aspects like proof of education, a completed application form, and test preparation materials may be required at different stages of the certification process, the immediate necessity upon arrival for the examination is to have a valid form of identification. Thus, possessing photographic identification is essential for all candidates seeking to take the examination.
