Do not have passport currently

by DevB » Sat Jul 26, 2014 9:17 am
Hi Experts,

I am Indian Citizen. I do have a passport but do not have it currently with me. My exam is scheduled for this week and I cannot get it back so soon. I have all the other valid IDs like National UID, Driving License, PAN Card. I also have a photocopy of the passport. Please let me know if I will be allowed to give the exam or not.

I am really worried :(

Regards

Hello, DevB. You can see a list of identification requirements for your country by using the drop-down box and selecting your country here: https://www.mba.com/global/the-gmat-exam ... tions.aspx.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept photocopies of identification. If you need to reschedule your exam, you can do so online here https://www.mba.com/global/the-gmat-exam ... .aspx#tab4 or by contacting the Pearson Vue.

If you reschedule more than seven days before your test date the reschedule fee will be $50. If you do so within the seven-day window the fee increases to $250.

Good luck!

Hi Rebecca,

I have other IDs like the National Identification Card, Driving License. Will they not work?

@Rebecca, the link you posted to the country-specific requirements is broken. Did you mean this one?

@DevB, here is the page for the India test center requirements. It says that "a passport book" is required:
