GRE ID requirements in Pakistan (2026)

Testing in Pakistan as a Pakistani citizen, ETS accepts a passport or the SMART National Identity Card (SNIC). Testing outside Pakistan, you need a passport; ETS states there are no exceptions.

The checker catches what this page can't: a name that doesn't match your registration, an expiry date, or a missing supplemental ID.

Accepted

• Passport
• SMART National Identity Card (SNIC)

Not accepted

• Driver license
• Military ID

Rules that apply everywhere

• Your first and last names must match your ETS account exactly, accents aside. A middle initial is optional.
• The ID must be valid on test day. We treat an ID that expires on the exam day itself as expired.
• Bring the physical original: no photocopies, scans or photos on your phone.
• The ID must show your name, a recent photo and your signature.
