To register for the SQE, you need to provide a valid, official photo ID.
You will need to upload an image of your ID when you register so that we can authenticate it and verify your identity. We will keep a copy of your ID document throughout your SQE journey. Please see our retention policy for further information. Important: your uploaded ID must be kept up to date throughout your SQE journey. If your ID changes after registering you should contact our SQE Candidate Services Team to update it.
Valid official photo ID.
For example:
We recommend that you use your passport to verify your identity.
Please note that we cannot accept digital IDs.
If you are having problems uploading your photo ID, please contact our Candidate Services Team. Call 0203 486 3080 or email enquiries@sqe.sra.org.uk
You must bring two forms of identification to SQE1 and SQE2 written (taking place at Pearson VUE test centres).
We recommend you bring your current valid passport as the primary form of identification. Alternatively, you may use one of the following documents as a primary form of identification. If you present any of the primary IDs listed below, they must be valid with photo embedded.
The second form of identification must contain your full name and signature (e.g. a signed debit or credit card).
You must bring the same valid form of photo ID you uploaded to your SQE account.
Identity documents must be the original documents. Photocopies or photos will not be accepted. No other forms of identification are acceptable. If you have any concerns, contact our SQE Candidate Services Team as soon as possible.
If you fail to present the correct forms of identification, you will be denied entry to the examination and forfeit your examination fee.
The name on your identification must exactly match the name you provided when you registered with the SQE. The assessment centre staff have no discretion to waive or vary the identification rules.
You must bring identification as specified above to every day of the assessment.
Your ID is collected and retained in line with our retention policy.
This information is treated with the strictest confidence. It will be used to ensure that we are able to confirm you are the registered candidate at the point of sitting SQE.
