What to Bring to the LSAT

By Andrew Collins / April 30, 2026

What to bring to the LSAT: a valid physical ID and your numbers. See which IDs are not accepted and what goes in the locker.

Quick answer: bring a valid physical ID and your LSAT eligibility and Prometric confirmation numbers. Your ID must be current, or expired within 3 months of your test date, and show a recent photo, your first and last name and your date of birth. Most other things go in a locker. Not sure you qualify? See the LSAT requirements.

What to Bring

  • A valid physical ID, with the name matching your LSAC account exactly.
  • Your LSAT eligibility number and Prometric confirmation number. Both are on the LSAT Status page in JD Services.
  • Your LawHub username and password.
  • Comfortable layers.

IDs That Are Not Accepted

  • A photo or scan of your ID.
  • A photocopy.
  • A student or employee ID.
  • A U.S. military ID card.
  • A Social Security card, birth certificate or credit card.
  • A temporary ID, unless your expired ID comes with it.

Check LSAC’s ID rules well before test day, as they are strict and can change.

What Goes in the Locker

A locker is provided for your other things, such as your phone and bag. Check Prometric’s list of preapproved items if you need something specific. Do not assume a snack or water can stay with you at your seat.

If Your Name Does Not Match

Fix it with LSAC before test day. A mismatch can stop you from testing, so check early.

FAQ

Can I bring scratch paper?

Follow the testing center’s rules, and check LSAC’s current instructions.

Can I use a digital ID?

No. LSAC says digital images and photocopies are not accepted.

What if my ID just expired?

It can still work if it expired within 3 months of your test date.
