It is important that you read and accept the IELTS terms and conditions when you register for the test.

You also receive the terms and conditions in the Information for Candidates brochure, which is included with the application form. 

The terms and conditions contain important information, including details of:

  • the rules you need to follow
  • security precautions taken when you sit your test
  • the results process
  • cancellation process
  • how we use your information.

When you tick the terms and conditions box when you are applying online, you are confirming that you have read and understood the IELTS terms and conditions and agree to abide by them. 

If you take IELTS Online, you will be required to show your identification document at the start of each of the test sections.

Residency Status

I reside in the country where I have registered to take my IELTS on Paper test. I may be required to provide reasonable proof of residency. If I fail to satisfy the IELTS PARTNER proof of residency requirement, then my IELTS on Paper test booking will be cancelled and I will be issued with a refund, or a transfer to an IELTS on Computer test.
