General

Educational institutions are increasingly offering online classes and studies, but testing often requires the presence of a physical proctor to prevent cheating. This approach benefits colleges, vocational schools, and home-schooled students alike. For online course exams, students usually must take the test at a public location with internet access, such as a library or business. A mobile proctor, often a notary public due to their qualifications and background checks, is assigned to uphold academic integrity at the test site. While notaries are not mandated to be proctors, their background checks are an essential criterion for the role. *PROPER IDENTIFICATION MUST BE PRESENTED: state issued driver's license or ID, government -issued photo ID (e.g., student ID, U.S. Passport, Military ID, etc.)
