CAIAA Examination - Identification Policy

Updated October 1, 2024

To gain admission to the exam site on exam day, Candidates must present two items: 

  1.  A government issued passport or driver's license. 
  • The passport or driver's license must contain first & last names, your signature, must be original, valid and non-expired. A digital passport or driver’s license will not be accepted. 
  • The passport or driver's license must include a recognizable photograph. 
  • The driver's license must be issued by the country in which the exam site is located. 

 

  1.  A printed Confirmation of Appointment Email 
  • CAIAA will neither accept nor allow admittance to the exam with an electronic version of the Confirmation Email. 
  • The name on the Confirmation of Appointment Email must match exactly the name on the Candidate’s passport or driver’s license that is presented on exam day. This includes an exact match of the first name, last name, and any middle name or initial. The order of the names is irrelevant so long as all names appear. 
     

There are NO exceptions to CAIAA’s Identification Policy, regardless of what form of identification a Candidate may have used in past exam administrations. 
 

If a Candidate arrives on exam day without an original, valid, non-expired, government-issued passport or driver’s license, and/or the printed Confirmation of Appointment Email, they will not be allowed to sit for the exam or reschedule their exam, and they will be forced to forfeit their exam fee(s). 
 

Candidates who are unable to meet any of the above criteria MUST contact CAIAA no later than one (1) month prior to the exam window at candidate@caia.org.
