[Elecraft] FCC exams

[Bruce Beford]

Well Fred, I don't know who's in charge of the VE sessions you have attended
but... I have been a VE for many years. I head up our local ARRL VEC
sponsored team. The only time I have required multiple forms of ID is when
an appropriate photo ID was not available. Generally, this has been for
young applicants that don't have a passport, military ID or driver's
license. The following excerpt is directly from the ARRL VEC manual.

Identification
No one may take an amateur exam for another person. It is essential that the
VE Team checks a candidate's identification (ID) before allowing the
candidate to sit for an exam.
The candidate must present a legal photo ID. This requirement is usually met
with a driver's license, but it can be a passport or other legal
identification card with the candidate's photo on it.
When no photo ID is available, the candidate must present any two of the
following:

. Non-photo ID/driver's license (some states still have them);
. Social Security Card;
. Birth certificate (must have the appropriate seal);
. Minor's work permit, school report card, school ID card or library card;
. Utility bill, bank statement or other business correspondence that
specifically names the person; or
. Postmarked envelope addressed to the person at his or her current mailing
address as it appears on the Form 605.
