Guidelines for Students without Photo ID



ACCUPLACER Student ID Form Procedure

Students who do not possess an acceptable form of photo ID may complete the ACCUPLACER Student ID Form prior to testing. The form is valid for one year from signature date.

  1. Complete the form with the student’s name, signature, date, and date of birth.
  2. Affix a current photograph of the student, which must closely resemble the student’s appearance on test day.
  3. Present the form to a school official or notary:
    • SCHOOL OFFICIAL AT FCC: Present this form, along with documentation that includes a photo and name to an Advisor in Career & Academic Planning Services (CAPS) for signature.  If the student does not possess anything with a name and photo on it, the student’s identification may be verified through using the photo ID of the Emergency Contact listed on the student’s application. The Emergency Contact may provide their photo ID in-person or video conference. Please visit Career & Academic Planning Services for more information.
    • SCHOOL OFFICIAL AT SECONDARY SCHOOL: Present this form to a school official where the student attends/attended for signature.  Letterhead or business card of the school official affixed to the form is acceptable.
    • NOTARY PUBLIC: This form may be notarized for students who are minors who will need to be accompanied by a credible witness in lieu of an ID and appear before the notarial officer.
  4. On the ACCUPLACER Student ID Form, there are 3 signature lines dedicated for use on test day. The student will sign one of the lines in front of the testing staff each time they visit the FCC Testing Center when presenting this form of ID for testing.  This form is also valid for remote testing.
