Valid ID

Two forms of valid ID is required to take the CAEC test.

The primary ID must be government-issued, not expired, and include your name, date of birth, photo, and signature. Examples include:

• Passport
• Driver’s license or learner’s permit
• Canadian military ID
• Federal, provincial, or territorial-issued ID
• Indian or Métis status card

The secondary ID must also be valid (not expired) and show your name. Examples include:

• Health card
• Birth certificate
• Immigration documents (such as a work permit, refugee protection papers, or confirmation of permanent residence)

If your documents are in a language other than English or French, you must provide a certified translation at your own expense. If you have trouble providing two valid forms of ID, the testing center may work with the CAEC administrators to find an acceptable solution, but this may cause delays.
