Valid IDs For Kids
The ARRL VEC manual states the following:
"When no photo ID is available, the candidate must present any two of the following items:

Non-photo ID/driver's license (some states still have them); Social Security Card (as FCC now requires each applicant to supply a taxpayer ID number) Birth certificate (must have the appropriate seal); Minor's work permit or school report card; Utility bill, bank statement or other business correspondence that specifically names the person; or Postmarked envelope addressed to the person at his or her current mailing address as it appears on the Form 605."

Even a video game magazine or Boy Scout Boy's Life magazine addressed the the child will serve as one of the two required IDs. Even a school year book can provide photo proof of the child being tested. Even school report cards can be used. Anything else of a similar nature that demonstrates child's identity and residence. By being accompanied by his or her parent does not satisfy the rule.
