WHY DO YOU TAKE MY PHOTOGRAPH?

Security at IELTS tests is important to us. As an added measure, our exams services staff take a passport-style photograph of candidates on the test day. The photograph appears on your results (also known as your Test Report Form). This procedure is mandatory.Candidates under 18 years of age must have a consent form signed by a parent or legal guardian so that we can take the photograph.
