IMPORTANT NOTICE

All IELTS candidates will have their photo taken by IELTS staff on test day before the test and this will be used on the Test Report Form (TRF). This is to ensure that the person whose photograph appears on the TRF is the person who took the test. This also provides receiving organisations additional security.

Your digital photograph and the personal data will be used only for the purpose of the IELTS test. They will be stored by British Council and the University of Cambridge and destroyed after a 2 year period. We will ensure that our staff and those acting on our behalf obtain, use and disclose personal information lawfully and correctly.

Candidates wearing glasses will be asked to remove them before their photos are taken. Cultural sensitivities have been considered. If you have any questions or experience any inconvenience on the test day, please notify our staff immediately.

Every candidate, including minors, must have the test day photo taken without exception.

Refusal to comply with IELTS identity verification will prevent you from taking the test and you will not be eligible for any transfer, cancellation or refund.
