You must have two physical and current forms of identification: at least one must be a primary form of ID.
If the names on your forms of ID do not match, you may need to bring the appropriate linking documentation, such as a marriage license or court order, that shows the change in names. If your name will soon change, contact your sponsor to learn what to do.
You cannot complete your appointment if you do not have the appropriate documents with you. An expired form of ID (including your PIV card) is not acceptable for either enrollment or activation appointments.
