Do I need to show ID for an online-proctored Claude certification exam?

Yes - a valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID with a name matching your exam registration exactly, shown to the webcam during check-in, same as at a physical test center.

What do I need to do before an online-proctored exam?

Run Pearson VUE's OnVUE system check beforehand to confirm your camera, microphone, and internet connection meet requirements, and clear your desk and room of notes, phones, extra monitors, and other people.

Exam Day Checklist - Claude Certification (Pearson VUE)

Before exam day

Run Pearson VUE's OnVUE system test on the actual computer and network you'll use - camera, microphone, and connection speed all get checked Confirm the room you'll test in is private, quiet, and well-lit, with a door that closes Clear the desk and walls of notes, books, extra monitors, and papers Have one government-issued photo ID ready, unexpired, name matching your registration exactly

Right before check-in

Log in at least 30 minutes before your scheduled start time Close every other application, browser tab, and notification source Put away your phone and smartwatch - out of the room, not just out of reach Be ready to show your ID to the webcam and do a 360° room scan on request Make sure nobody else can enter the room during the exam

Before exam day

Confirm the test center's exact address and parking/transit situation Have one government-issued photo ID ready, unexpired, name matching your registration exactly Plan to arrive with time to spare for check-in (security screening, photo, signature)

On arrival

Leave your phone, smartwatch, bag, and notes in the provided locker - not at your desk No food or drink at the workstation (check current center policy on water) Complete check-in before your scheduled start time, not at it
