🛠Common Troubleshooting Steps
| What might be wrong | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Lost or Misplaced ID | Contact your exam administrator immediately. They may allow a temporary or alternative ID, or guide you on rescheduling your session. |
| Expired ID | Renew your ID before the exam if possible. Some organizers may temporarily accept expired IDs with proof of renewal—confirm this first. |
| Never Had a Photo ID | You’ll need to obtain one before your exam. Most organizations accept only verified government-issued IDs. |
| Name Mismatch (ID vs Registration) | Inform your recruiter or Talview Support before the exam and provide supporting proof (e.g., name change document). |
