Requirements

Before you register online, make sure that you have the following:

  2. A physical format of School or any Government-issued ID (regardless of validity) that you will present on your actual test day. Acceptable valid IDs are outlined in the NaMMAT BOI.

The name that you will enter in the NaMMAT Online Registration System should match the details on the valid ID that you will present when you sit for the NaMMAT.
