First, thank you guys for your replies!

I was just going through this GMAT bulletin pdf file I downloaded from GMAC website (the latest edition.. effective date - January 1, 2009) and on page 7, it specifically says "a permanent U.S. resident testing in the United States, in which case you may present a passport or permanent resident card (green card)".

Whew... what a relief!

I also just called the GMAC customer service to double-check and got a 'yes' from him as well.

Here is the link of the GMAT bulletin pdf file, just in case someone would like to check the information as well.

Thanks again guys.

Hmmm, when I took my exam, I only showed them my driver's license and they didn't ask for any other ID....

:shock:

Hi guys,

Just joined and got a quick yet pretty urgent question for you fellow green card holders in the US who sat for the exam.

I am a permanent resident (green card holder) myself and wondering if my (1) driver's license and (2) green card would be enough IDs to present at the test center or I really need a passport.

The reason why I am asking is.. I still have my 'maiden name' on my passport though I have my new last name (my husband's) both on my driver's license and green card (and yes, I registered the exam under my new last name).

I just did not bother to change the name on my passport because my country of citizenship has a very picky (rather ridiculous) rules as to how to change name on a passport, and as long as I brought my marriage certificate along with my passport when traveling abroad, I had no problem.

Sorry for babbling too much, but back to my question:

Do I really need a passport?

If so, bringing marriage certificate along with my passport would help?

Thanks so much!


Did you get an answer from the test center or was there a resolution?

I was in your shoes when I took the exam. I didn't bring my passport, but luckily I had my green card with me and that was sufficient for them along with my DL.
