How you can register for the IELTS test
ONLINE. Once you register online, you’ll receive a letter specifying your test details, however, your registration will still be incomplete. Then, within 5 working days – for paper-based test / 1 working day – for computer-delivered test, you’ll need to pay your registration fee. Upon the payment you’ll receive another letter, and your registration will be considered complete and confirmed.
Before registration, please make sure you have a valid ID (passport or national ID card – Kyrgyz citizens can use either (not both!), but once used, this original ID must be presented at each stage of the test – both on Speaking test day and Main/Written test day; foreign candidates must use their Passports only). Before booking, make sure that your identification document will remain valid for at least two years.
Online registration will take you up to 25 minutes, and we suggest that you have your identification document at hand , as you will need to upload a clear photocopy of it.
Personal data must be entered in the same way as they appear in the identification document.
Please fill in all blanks carefully.
