Question on acceptable IDs for NCLEX!!!

Published

Hi guys! I have a question for those who already took NCLEX: Now I am worried about if my ID is ok to use at the testing center when I go to take the exam. I'm worried cuz I saw that it said on my ATT that the name on my ATT must be the exact same name as on my ID. I'm worried cuz on my ATT it says my first name, full middle name and last name (ex-Mary Susan Smith), but on both my driver's license and passport it only says my first name, middle initial and last name (ex-Mary S. Smith). Is it ok to have your full middle name on the ATT but only your middle initial on your IDs? Is this ok or am I just totally finding something new NCLEX-related to worry about? Thanks!

Hi everyone! Okay, I called pearson vue just now and they said as long as your first and last name match, there's no problem. He said it was fine that my full middle name Victoria was spelled out on my ATT and just a V on my ID. He also said that if my middle name was Mary but my middle initial stated on my ID said another letter like S then THAT would be a problem. But it is fine how it is right now. Also, I'm in Mass not NC so here we do not have a law saying you need to have your full middle name on your license. I know because I just got a new license last month. Hope this helps everyone!
