Photo Identification

To ensure the integrity of our competitive events, the Texas Public Safety Association (TPSA) requires all competitors to present a valid, original, and current photo ID for admission to their competition events. This policy outlines the acceptable forms of identification and the requirements for each.

Acceptable Photo Identification

Competitors may use any of the following forms of identification:

• A government-issued driver's license or non-driver ID card or passport.
• An official school-produced student ID card from the school the competitor currently attends. The ID must be for the current or previous academic year and in a hard plastic card format.
• Members may upload a profile picture to their myTPSA account before their regional competition. If a competitor has uploaded a profile photo to their myTPSA account, this photo will be accepted as a valid form of identification. No printed copy is required. No uploads may occur after regional competition registration closes.
• If none of the above forms of ID are available, the TPSA Competitor Identification Form may be completed and used https://tpsa.info/competitor-identification-form

Identification Requirements

All forms of identification must meet the following requirements:

• The first and last name on the ID must match the name used on the competition event registration.
• The photo on the ID must be current and recognizable.

Compliance

Competitors who do not present an acceptable form of ID as outlined above will not be eligible to compete.
