IDs needed for the NCLEX?

Published

I know that several changes have been made as of April 1st. I had a classmate tell me that there are two types of id's needed to take the exam; one being your driver's license but I don't know about the second. Could anybody tell me what I need to bring?

I would call them and ask. Safest and most accurate answer right from the horses mouth so to speak :)

From what I remember you need a photo ID and your ATT. It tells you what form of ID you need right on your ATT.

I took it Thursday and my friend today. All you need is your drivers license and a print out of the ATT.

Your ATT will tell you what you need.

Thanks for the feedback. I believe that I will call when I get my ATT. This has been a long 5 weeks waiting...

  • U.S. driver's license (Department of Motor Vehicle-issued)(if expired, a renewal slip including a photograph and a signature must be presented in order to be admitted)
  • U.S. state identification (Department of Motor Vehicle-issued)
  • Passport
  • U.S. Military Identification

No need to call when you get your ATT. The instructions on it are VERY explicit about what to bring and what to expect. A driver's license and your ATT are what they expect. Good luck!

It can be your voter's registration card, military ID, passport, etc.
