ID's now required at practical exams. All participants testing at a practical exam are now required to present a photo ID when registering at the exam site on the day of the exam. If you don't have a photo ID, two forms of non-photo ID will be acceptable.
Only original copies of RTP course completion certificates will be accepted by National Registry. The National Registry will now only accept original copies of the RTP course completion certificates from the state. The state will not issue the course completion certificate until after the practical exam has been completed. Allow two weeks after the practical exam to receive your certificate. See state memo.
Don't like to take RTP's. Take the NR written exam instead. You can now opt out of the usual RTP by successfully passing the National Registry's written exam. See this state memo for step-by-step instructions for doing this.
