Using a registration number other than '0003' will send results to the wrong agency, requiring a new appointment and fee.
Name Mismatches ▾
Ensure your name on MOPRO, NABP, and your government ID matches exactly to avoid ATT issuance delays.
Missing Education Affidavits ▾
Applications cannot be approved for testing until the Board receives official confirmation of degree conferral.
