When you apply for the IELTS exam, certain documents are required to complete the registration process. First, a valid passport is essential for identification purposes. Your passport number will be recorded as part of your application, and it will be checked against the identification you present on test day. Some countries allow other government-issued IDs, but a passport is generally preferred. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months after the IELTS exam date.

In addition to your passport or ID, you may need to provide a passport-sized photo when registering online. This photo will be used on your test-day materials and will be verified with the identity you present at the test center.

To ensure smooth registration, always double-check the required documents for the specific test center where you plan to take the exam. This ensures that your IELTS exam date doesn’t get delayed due to missing or incorrect paperwork. Once you’ve uploaded the necessary documents, you can proceed to check the IELTS exam dates and select the one that fits your preparation schedule.
