Will NCLEX accept my drivers license?

Published

Know this sounds crazy but I look nothing like I did when i got my drivers license. My drivers license picture is extremely tan and blonde hair, now I am not so tan and black hair. I've been questioned quite a bit at the casino and bars and even got denied cigarettes at a gas station because they accused that of not being me! My question is will this be a problem when i go to take the NCLEX next month? I really don't want to have to reschedule if they don't accept it even though it truly is me!

Yes they will accept it as long as it matches your ATT... Gosh people change their looks all the time!! Plus it has your signature and all that good stuff on it and they will do a fingerprint and palm scan before you take it anyways.

What about if you have an out of state drivers license? Will they accept that?

They will accept it. I have an old license that expires next year, but still has the 15 year old picture of me with the red tag saying I won't be 21 till 2009. They accepted it. Just as long as your name matches and the person at least looks like you.

The ATT gives all the criteria for the proper drivers license. I know it cant be expired but I am not sure about out of state.

Yea they accept out of state since anyone can take the test at any location they want in the US. I took my test in a different state since the other states testing facility was actually closer to where I lived. As long as your name and address are the same on your license and ATT it doesn't matter.
