A friend of mine came from Japan last week to take the NCLEX in San Francisco. On the morning of the test, she arrived at the test center and showed her Japanese passport as her identification. They would not accept it because it did not show her name in Roman characters. She then showed her California driver license, which they wouldn't accept because it had expired.

She's not sure what she's going to do. The Japanese embassy told her that she might be able to get some form of official identification in English, but she has to investigate that further.

This all seems very unfair to me.
