🟨 Can You Take FINRA Exams Outside the U.S.?
Here’s what international candidates need to know.

If you’re located outside the United States and aiming to take a FINRA qualification exam—like the SIE, Series 6, Series 7, Series 63, Series 65, or Series 66—you might wonder whether testing is available internationally.

🌍 Short Answer: Yes, but with limitations.

FINRA exams are administered by Prometric, which offers international testing centers in select countries. However, availability and access depend on:

✅ The specific exam
✅ Your sponsoring firm’s requirements (if applicable)
✅ Local testing center options

🗺 Where Can You Take FINRA Exams Internationally?

Prometric has authorized test centers in regions such as:

• Canada
• United Kingdom
• Hong Kong
• Singapore
• Japan
• Some European, Middle Eastern, and Asian countries

📌 Availability is limited and may vary by country and exam type.

🖥 Can You Test Online from Abroad?

FINRA allows online remote proctoring for some exams (like the SIE, Series 6, Series 63, Series 65, and Series 66). However:

• You must meet technical requirements (webcam, stable internet, private space)
• Your location must be approved by the testing service—some countries have restrictions due to security or legal reasons

🛂 What Documents Do You Need?

• A valid government-issued photo ID (passport recommended if outside the U.S.)
• Registration forms (e.g., Form U4 for sponsored candidates, Form U10 for independent testers)

🟢 The name on your ID must exactly match your exam registration.

🔎 How to Check Availability

1. Visit the Prometric scheduling portal
2. Select your FINRA exam and check for international locations
3. Contact your sponsoring firm (if applicable) or FINRA for guidance if no options are shown

🎯 Final Tip
