Q. Where I live, a driver's license is renewed by placing a sticker on the back of the original license to update information such as expiration date and address. Is this acceptable for admittance to the CFA examinations?
An original driver's license (which contains a photo of the driver) with a renewal sticker is
acceptable. Remember, ID must meet all of the following criteria:
• It must be current and valid (it cannot be expired).
• It must contain the candidate's photo.
• It must be issued by a government agency.
• It must be a single document (not a combination of two or more pieces of information).
Q. My government-issued identification does not have my photograph on it. Can I use another form of photo identification along with my government-issued identification for admittance to the exam room?
No. You must present current, government-issued photo identification (such as a passport, driver's license, government or national identification card, military identification, citizen's identification, or government work permit with photo). Expired documents of any kind will not be accepted. Photocopies of identification documents will not be accepted.
Q. Photographs are not required on driver's licenses where I live. Will a driver's license without a photograph be acceptable for admittance to the exam room?
No. You must present another acceptable form of government-issued photo identification (see answer above).
Q. Can I use a copy of my current government-issued photo identification, rather than the original, for admittance to the exam?
No. You must present the original document in order to gain admittance.
