Do I need to have an ID to be proctored?

Please note that virtually proctored exams with Honorlock requires students to have a government-issued ID, such as a driver's license or passport, or a student ID with a photo included. Student's photo-ID and face must be clearly scanned with your webcam in real-time to begin an exam. If in-person proctoring is not available through your school -OR- you are an Independently enrolled student, all student will be required to utilize Honorlock virtual proctoring to scan your ID and fulfill this course requirement.

Students who have in-person availability with their school may schedule this with an authorized teacher, counselor, or other school administrator in advance to have the opportunity to be proctored in person without requiring an ID to begin. If students do not have any valid picture ID, our TEL support team may need to arrange an alternative accommodation to ensure that Honorlock permits this exception. Please be sure to plan ahead before your exam!

Feel free to reach out to support@tel-education.org for additional questions.
