What to bring to a drug test

Last reviewed Oct 26, 2026. General information, not legal advice.

A little preparation makes your visit faster. Here is what to bring and what to expect.

Bring these

Good to know

For a breath alcohol test

Avoid mouthwash, breath spray and eating right before your test. You may be asked to wait a short time before the test starts.

For a hair test

Do not cut your hair very short before your test. The collector needs enough hair for the sample.
