Before you book your test

  1. Make sure to check which test you need with the organizations you are applying to. If you are looking to work, study or live in the UK, there is a specific IELTS test for UK visas and immigration. See which IELTS test is right for you.
  2. Have a form of valid ID (Passport, US Permanent Resident Card or US Employment Authorization Card) at hand, as you will need to upload a clear scan when you book your test and bring that same ID to the test center on test day. Please note that candidates under age 18 must be registered for the test by a parent or guardian so that proper consents and permissions are given.
  3. Pay your test fee. Test fees vary so check with your test center.
