When an applicant fulfills the requirements to be certified in a field of practice from an educational institution, what document is required by the agency before testing?

• A. Birth certificate
• B. Passport
• C. Picture ID card and original Social Security card
• D. Driver's license

Answer: (C)

Verifying identity for testing requires two forms of ID: a current picture ID and proof of your Social Security number. The agency requires presenting a picture ID plus the original Social Security card so they can confirm both who you are and your SSN, with the SSN card provided in its original form because copies aren’t accepted. A birth certificate or a passport by itself doesn’t meet this two-form requirement, and a driver’s license alone is only a photo ID without verifying SSN. Hence, the combination of a picture ID and the original Social Security card is the correct requirement before testing.
