Residents are asked to bring a driver's license or some other form of identification to show they are a town resident. Residents are also asked to bring their own pen to complete a test form even if they are pre-registered.

Testing is always busiest in the first two hours of the scheduled time. Anyone in line during the test window, who is pre-registered, will receive a test.
