Your name on the ID must EXACTLY match the name on your College Board Account.
If the two names do not match, you will not be able to test.
Make sure you double check your College Board account for nicknames, abbreviations, preferred first/last names--please make sure your College Board account name exactly matches your government ID name.
If you do not have an ID of any kind, print this form from College Board and follow the directions. After following all the directions on the form, bring this with you on test day to serve as your identification.
Your admission ticket isn't good enough to get you into the test center. Follow these identification guidelines so you don't get turned away. You're responsible for understanding and following these requirements as they appear here.
The text below is taken directly from the College Board website.
What to Expect
Test center staff will compare the information on your admission ticket and your photo ID with the test center roster to confirm your registration and identity. You can’t be admitted to the test center if any of the information doesn’t match. For example, you can’t use a nickname on one item but your full name on another.
The staff isn't required to hold your seat or wait to begin testing if you didn’t bring acceptable identification and need to go home and return with ID.
ID documents must meet all these requirements:
Be a valid (unexpired) photo ID that is government issued or issued by the school you currently attend. School IDs from the prior school year are valid through the end of December of the current calendar year. (For example, school IDs from 2022–23 can be used through December 31, 2023.)
Be an original, physical document (not photocopied or electronic).
Bear your full, legal name exactly as it appears on your admission ticket, including the order of the names.
Bear a recent recognizable photograph that clearly matches both your appearance on test day and the photo you provided when you registered.
Be in good condition, with clearly legible English language text and a clearly visible photograph.
Government issued driver's license or non-driver ID card
Official school-produced student ID card from the school you currently attend
Government issued passport or U.S. Global Entry identification card

If you need to make a change to your name after you register, please contact Customer Service at least 30 days prior to your intended test date. Middle names and initials are optional on your documents. However, if provided, the middle initial must exactly match the first letter of your middle name on your ID.
You may not be allowed to enter the test center, let alone take the test, if test center staff can’t sufficiently authenticate your identity from the ID you present. Your score may even be withheld or canceled.
Admission to the test center is no guarantee that the ID you provided is valid or that your scores will be reported. All reported or suspected cases of questionable ID or test taker identity are subject to our review and approval before, during, and after the test administration.
You should always keep your ID with you while at the test center, including during breaks. You might be required to show your ID multiple times and at various points throughout the test administration.
If it's discovered after your test administration that you used a false or invalid identification, your test scores will be canceled and you will forfeit your registration and test fees. Your parents or legal guardians (if you're under 18), your high school, and the colleges and programs you have designated to receive your score reports will be notified and may be told why your scores were canceled. Law enforcement authorities may also be notified when fraud is suspected, and you may be banned from future tests.
If you fail to comply with these identification requirements and policies, you may be dismissed from the test center. Your scores may be withheld or canceled. If you're dismissed from the test center prior to completing the test because of invalid or unacceptable ID, or failure to comply with these ID requirements and policies, your test fees won't be refunded.
If you’ll be 21 or older on test day, the only acceptable form of identification is an official government issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, that meets all the previous requirements on this page. Student ID cards aren’t valid forms of identification for test takers who are 21 or older.
