To take the IELTS test you must apply at your chosen test centre and submit an IELTS Application Form.

Fill in the Application Form and send it or take it to the test centre with the test fee and two passport sized photographs. You need some evidence of identity. This must be a passport number, or in some circumstances a national identity card number. Please confirm with your test centre which form of identification is acceptable. Candidates taking the test outside their own country must present a passport. Candidates must enter the number of their passport or identity card on the Application Form.
