Call them up and ask. Do you have a valid passport? I would call them to see if there is a substitute, otherwise it might be a good idea to reschedule.

a passport takes longer then a license. Usually a couple of months even if you pay the extra money to expedite it. Your best bet is to get a new license, otherwise maybe you can bring a SS card and birth certificate? You should probably call them and talk to them.

If you can't get your Lic or Passport on time. I'd suggest rescheduling your date of examination.

You can go to your local Department of State and pay/get a State ID. You can use that as a valid ID and it only takes about an hour or depends on how busy it is in your area.

If you haven't got one of these then you have no choice but reschedule date because only the following are acceptable ID
