Do I have to be a U.S. citizen in order to sit for the Series 65 Exam?

No.  There are no citizenship limitations on taking the Series 65 exam.

If I’m not a U.S. citizen and don’t have a U.S. social security number how do I sign up for the Series 65 exam?
     By using form U-10, and you don’t have a social security number, FINRA will assign an ID number to you for the purpose of taking the Series 65 exam.

Is there any allowance on the exam if English isn’t my first language?
    FINRA can make special arrangements and grant you one extra hour to take the exam if English is not your first language and an allowance is necessary.   When you contact the exam center for your appointment ask the operator what steps need to be made in order to get the extra time.

Can I take the Series 65 exam outside of the U.S.?
     Yes. You can find information on all testing locations on the Links page of our website.
