In California you are required to be a resident, as defined in Government Code section 233, or a member of the armed services assigned to duty in California. If the form of identification you intend to bring does not prove your California residency, you must additionally bring at least one of the following to prove your residency:
- Current rental or lease agreement
- Current deed or title to residential real property
- Current mortgage statement
- Current home utility bill
- Current cable or phone bill
- Current employment documents
- Current insurance documents
- Current Internal Revenue Service or California Franchise Tax Board tax return
- Current property tax bill or statement
- Court documents that list the applicant as a California resident
- Current California certificate of vehicle or vessel title or registration
- Completion of the California High School Equivalency Declaration of California Residency
If you do not provide documentation to prove that you are a resident, you will not be allowed to test and will lose the testing fee that was paid.
