Applying for the PMI PMP Exam.
Please Note - if taking you're the PMP Exam in the US: Some of this information has supposedly changed regarding exactness; however, it appears that the Rule of thumb is: Example: if you are using your driver's license for the government issued ID: Your current (make sure it is up-to-date) driver's license still needs to match the name that PMI provides Prometric exactly, although your address may no longer be necessary to enter the exam, unless it is used for identity purposes. Also take a credit card, debit card or current passport for a second signature verification or have them ready if you are doing the exam Live Online.
We generally tell people to use their driver's licenses and a signed debit or credit card as these items are generally on them all the time and they are less likely to forget them.
ID Instructions: Before the Exam is scheduled, please make sure you have the government issued ID that you will use for the PMP Exam. On your PMI application you may use the correct address; however, there is only a place for your first and last name. So if your government issued ID has a middle initial or one or two additional names, please add these at the time you pay for the Exam. This is for the Prometric process. Use the name EXACTLY as it shows on your State’s driver’s license or Passport. Example: If your name on the government ID you are using is Jose Ryan Brown, you cannot use Jose Brown or Jose R. Brown. You must use Jose Ryan Brown. Take a debit card or a credit card showing your signature on the back. Both your government issued picture ID and the card you choose will be used to validate your signature. Your name does not have to match EXACTLY on the credit card / debit card.
The Project Management Institute will let you know about this when you are about to pay for the Exam if you do it over the phone. If you are buying your exam online, read the instructions carefully.
