To ensure the proctor admits you in the exam zone, you will be required to carry one Identification proof that you submitted while scheduling your CIBP™ exam. The ID must be original, valid, and non-expired, and should have your photo and signature.

List of acceptable IDs

1. Government-issued driver's license
2. Passport
3. Military ID
4. State/country ID card
5. Employee/school ID

Identification Verification on Exam Day

Candidates must present their original, government-issued ID on-screen to the proctor during the ID verification process on exam day. The full name on the ID must exactly match the name in your myIBCA account. If there is any discrepancy between the ID name and the myIBCA account name, the proctor will deny access to the exam.

If you attempt to enter the exam with a photocopy, scanned copy, expired ID, or an ID different from the one submitted during exam scheduling, entry will not be permitted. No exceptions will be made to IBCA’s identification policy.
