Proper Identifications

Identification Requirements

To take the NNAAP® examination, you must bring two (2) forms of current, unexpired, official, signature-bearing identification to the test site. One of these forms must be a photo ID. For Exceptions, please refer to the Note section below.

Required Identifications

Social Security Card

• Must be issued by the U.S. government.
• Must be signed.
• Laminated cards will not be accepted.

One Photo ID from the List Below:

• Driver’s license
• Learner’s permit
• Military Identification (sponsor or dependent) 
• State- or federal-issued ID card
• U.S. or foreign passport
• Alien registration card
• Federal-issued Employment Authorization Document (EAD) photo ID

Please Note: 

1. Per North Carolina General Statute 20-7(f)(5), temporary licenses, permits, or identification cards issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will be accepted for 60 days from issuance. Official DMV paper copies will be accepted.

2. Per Senate Bill 391, Class C licenses (standard passenger vehicle licenses) expiring on or after July 1, 2025, will be accepted for two years beyond the printed expiration date. The DMV will allow this process until December 31, 2027. This does not apply to commercial driver licenses, or any licenses that are suspended, revoked, or cancelled.

Additional Guidelines

• Photocopies of any identification will not be accepted.
• If presenting sponsor or dependent military ID, it must be accompanied by a valid Social Security card.
• The name on your identification must exactly match the name you used on your examination application — including suffixes, hyphens, or other punctuation.

Consequences of Not Having Proper ID

• You will not be allowed to test without proper ID.
• Your exam fee will not be refunded.
• This absence will count as one of your three allowed testing attempts, as you were not adequately prepared.
