Do not register with the testing service, Pearson VUE until after you have received an eligibility notice from the Board.

When the registration is matched with the Board s eligibility, an Authorization to Test (ATT) is sent from Pearson VUE. All personal information must match exactly with the application submitted to the Board (e.g., name, Mother s maiden name, address of record, e- mail address, date of birth, U.S. Social Security Number), or an ATT will not be issued.
Upon receipt of the ATT you can schedule a testing appointment at a Pearson Professional Center, of your choice, by telephone or website. Remember that their identification (e.g., driver s license, passport, etc) provided at the test site must match the name provided to the Board, testing vendor and the ATT.
