Identification Requirements for Civilian Candidates and Self-Funded Military Candidates
Each candidate must present one form of identification (ID). The ID will be checked during the check-in process and may be re-checked at any time during the administration. The ID must be a government-issued photo ID, and it must include the candidate's name, signature, and a recognizable photograph. Acceptable forms of ID include:
- Current passport with name, photograph, and signature
- Valid driver's license with name, photograph, and signature
- State ID issued by a state Bureau of Motor Vehicles with name, photograph, and signature
- A tribal ID card
- A naturalization card or certificate of citizenship
- If the student is a minor and unable to provide a government-issued ID, then the College Board ID Form may be used for the ID. This form must include a recognizable photo, and the school seal must overlap the photo. The student must sign the ID form in the presence of her counselor or principal. The student will sign the form again at the test center.

Retesting Policy
As of Oct. 17, 2014, the CLEP® retest policy will be changed to allow test-takers to retest three months after the last exam administration, as opposed to six months. Please note that this policy is in effect only for students who test on Oct. 17, 2014 or after. Please do not attempt to take the test before you are eligible to retest, because your test will be invalid, and any fees you pay will not be refunded. Please call CLEP Services at (800) 257-9558 for help in determining when you may retake a test.
