By when should you resolve name discrepancies between your ID and NCARB records to avoid check-in issues?

• A. Within 24 hours of the exam.
• B. One month after scheduling.
• C. At the time of check-in.
• D. At least seven business days prior to your scheduled exam.

Answer: (D)

Ensuring the name on your ID matches your NCARB records before the exam is essential for a smooth check-in. The check-in process relies on identity verification, and any mismatch can cause delays or even prevent testing. Allowing at least seven business days before the scheduled exam gives time to correct the record, update the NCARB profile, and provide any required documentation so the center can verify your identity without holding up your appointment. Waiting until check-in could lead to being unable to test that day or needing to reschedule. Plan ahead to avoid last‑minute issues.
