What to Bring to the Part 107 Test
Updated 2026-10-17. Independent guide, not affiliated with the FAA.
Short answer: Bring a valid government-issued photo ID that shows your photo, signature, date of birth and a physical residential address (14 CFR 107.67 and the FAA testing matrix). If the ID shows a PO box, rural route or business address, also bring a document that verifies where you live. Before you book, create an IACRA profile to get your FAA Tracking Number (FTN). The testing center gives you the official testing supplement, scratch materials and the test computer. Do not bring notes. If this is a retest, also bring your previous test report (AKTR). Non-U.S. citizens need extra ID, and a 14 to 17 year old without an acceptable ID can bring a parent or legal guardian who shows ID and vouches for them (see the checklist).

| Item | Required? | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Government photo ID | Yes | Must show photo, signature, date of birth and a physical residential address. PO boxes, rural routes and business or employer addresses are not accepted on their own: bring a separate document that verifies your residential address | 14 CFR 107.67(b): ecfr.gov |
| Applicants under 18 without an acceptable ID | Alternative | A parent or legal guardian comes along, shows acceptable ID and attests to your identity | FAA testing matrix: faa.gov |
| Resident aliens (green card holders) | Yes | An alien residency card on its own is enough, as are the IDs accepted for U.S. citizens | FAA: faa.gov |
| Other non-U.S. citizens | Yes | A passport plus a U.S. state or territory driver license or permit, or another government-issued ID card. Without a passport because of asylum status, take your government documents to an FAA FSDO or International Field Office for approval first | FAA testing matrix: faa.gov |
| FAA Tracking Number (FTN) | Yes, before booking | Create a profile in IACRA (iacra.faa.gov) | FAA ENR 8.5: faa.gov |
| Booking confirmation | Recommended | Book through PSI: faa.psiexams.com | Same |
| Previous AKTR | Only for a retest | Your failed, passed or expired test report, whichever applies, brought to the center before retesting | FAA testing matrix: faa.gov |
| Testing supplement | No, the center provides it | FAA-CT-8080-2H | FAA testing supplements page |
| Calculator | Check first | Only calculators allowed under current FAA/PSI rules; confirm with PSI before test day | PSI candidate information |
| Notes, cheat sheets, phone | Not allowed | Stored outside the testing room | PSI rules |
Is the testing supplement still used after October 26, 2026?
Yes. The FAA says the printed testing supplement stays in testing centers until a removal date is announced. What changed is that some image questions now use excerpts from recent sectional charts that are not in the supplement, and those images cannot be previewed (FAA Airman Testing Community Advisory, September 2026 Special Edition, pages 5-6: faa.gov).
What happens on test day?
- Check in with your ID. The proctor confirms your identity and stores your belongings.
- You get 2 hours for 65 questions: 60 scored plus 5 unscored validation questions you cannot tell apart; 70% of the 60 scored passes.
- You get your Airman Knowledge Test Report (AKTR) at the end. Keep it: you need its exam ID to apply for your remote pilot certificate in IACRA.
Worked example: the PO box trap
Your driver's license shows "PO Box 123" as the address. The FAA testing matrix does not accept a PO box, rural route or business address on its own, so you also need a document that verifies your residential address. Ask PSI which documents they accept before test day so you are not turned away.
Be ready for the new chart questions
The supplement will not cover every image anymore. Practice reading charts you have never seen with the free chart diagnostic and the free daily chart question.
FAQ
- Do I need to bring the testing supplement?
- No. The testing center provides it.
- Can I bring a sectional chart or plotter?
- Not your own sectional chart or notes: written reference materials are not allowed. A plotter is different: the Remote Pilot ACS lists plotters, scales, straightedges and protractors as acceptable aids, subject to the proctor's final check.
- What is an FTN and why do I need it first?
- The FAA Tracking Number comes from your IACRA profile and is printed on your test report. You need it to register for the test.
- Where can I take the Part 107 test?
- At an FAA-approved knowledge testing center run by PSI. Find locations when you book through the FAA scheduling portal at faa.psiexams.com.
- How much does it cost?
- About $175 per attempt at the testing center.
