Acceptance of ID for all Shared Services Centre licensing services

Where photographic ID is required for requests for examinations, the grant of medical certificates and licences, ratings and certificates for those involved in air traffic services, engineering and flight crew duties the CAA only accepts the following forms of identification:

• Valid passport
• Valid UK photo driving licence

Exam candidates are required to bring the same ID they registered with on the portal to the exam for verification.

If a candidate needs to change their ID, they must ensure this is done at least 7 days prior to the exam. 

Requests to change ID outside of this timeframe may not be accepted and the candidate turned away on the day of the exam if their ID does not match the ID they registered with.
