III VALIDATION OF REGISTRATION

During the validation of registration candidates will be issued an Identification (ID) card.  To receive the ID card, candidates will be required to show current government photo identification, (i.e. a current passport or driver’s licence), for comparison to the ID card.  Candidates who do not provide government photo identification will not be admitted. 

Candidates must have the ID card visible at all times and must return the card to the Test Administrator at the end of the examination.  Removing any paper with copied test items or notes from the examination location is prohibited and will be considered as compromising the integrity of the examination.  The consequences of such actions are delineated in NDEB By-law 18.01.  The NDEB will verify that all ID cards are returned.  Candidates who fail to return their ID card may receive a zero “0” score for the examination.
