Arizona requires GED test takers to be at least 18 to test on their own. A 16- or 17-year-old may test with parental consent, verification of withdrawal from school, and a notarized statement.
Applicants cannot already hold a U.S. high school diploma and cannot be currently enrolled in an Arizona high school at the time of testing.
Arizona does not require state residency to test. You document a current address at registration; out-of-state testers receive the credential of the state where they qualify.
A current Arizona driver's license, state ID, U.S. military ID, or passport is accepted at every testing center. Expired IDs and school IDs are not accepted.
Both options are available statewide. Online proctored testing requires a recent 'green' score on a GED Ready practice test, plus a webcam and a private quiet room.

Real Arizona students. Real diplomas. Real next chapters — nursing programs, college, the National Guard, the promotions they were capped on.
Started a Medical Assistant program at Phoenix College.
“I almost forgot about the civics test until my adult-ed teacher flagged it. Passed all four GED subjects in ten weeks, then the civics piece a week later. The diploma needs both.”
Earned a free test voucher through Pima County and enrolled at Pima Community College.
“The voucher covered my test fees, which matters here because Arizona runs higher than most states. I tested in Spanish because that is the language I read fastest. Same diploma.”
Promoted to shift lead at a logistics warehouse after testing at Mesa Community College.
“My manager said the lead role needed a diploma on file. I studied on lunch breaks for two months and knocked out the civics test the same week. Got the bump right after.”
Joined the U.S. Army.
“The recruiter said no diploma, no contract. I studied two months on my phone during breaks and scored above the cutoff on every section. The civics test took one more afternoon.”
Same four steps for everyone. Most students reach the final step in eight to fourteen weeks.
