Japanese ID Requirements

We strongly recommend reviewing Pearson’s Japanese ID requirements prior to your exam day.

While the Legal Name field on your Trailhead Academy Account only accepts Roman characters, government-issued Japanese IDs without any names in Roman characters, such as a driver's license, still satisfy requirements. Proctors will be able to validate your legal name by the phonetic pronunciation. Please note that when registering for an online proctored exam, Japanese IDs will be accepted if you choose a Japanese proctor.
