I do not want to submit my passport number when registering for a test. Why is it necessary to mention this number? Do I have any alternatives?

Your ID card number / passport number is required to validate your nationality for pricing purposes and your age, if applicable. This information will be overwritten after the first processing step, usually within 24 hours, as this information is then no longer required. We need to check the nationality as our fees are based on the GDP of the country of which the interested person is a citizen. Alternatively, if you do not wish to disclose your passport number, you can send us a photo / scan of another document that shows your nationality (e.g. a scan of your driving licence - provided your nationality is mentioned there). This document must be sent to support@iapm-cert.net before registering for the test.  You can then register for the test and enter the abbreviation "TBR" in the field for the identity card number.
