Do you need a passport for IELTS?

Do you need a passport for IELTS test as follows:

I need to prepare my ID card for IELTS registration at home/abroad, and I need to prepare my passport for overseas exams. Remember to check whether my ID card is near the deadline before registration, and if it is near the deadline, apply for updating my ID card as soon as possible.

1. Provide identification documents (passport or ID card) when registering. The information of the ID card should include the ID number, the holder's signature, date and photo. Please refer to the requirements for identification documents in the Instructions for IELTS Application in China/China. Candidates who take exams abroad must show their passports.

2. Show a recent passport photo of standard size on the day of the exam.

3. If the candidates' registration documents are changed before the examination date, please contact the Examination Department of the British Council (working as the Cultural and Education Office of the British Embassy/Consulate in China) immediately, otherwise the examination qualification will be cancelled, and no transfer, withdrawal or refund is allowed.

4. On the day of the exam, show the identity documents consistent with the registration, otherwise the candidates' exam qualifications and test scores will be cancelled, and no transfer, withdrawal or refund will be allowed.

Personal basic information required for IELTS online registration includes: Chinese name, name pinyin/English name, valid ID card type, valid ID card number, ID card validity period, ID card issuing authority, date of birth, mobile phone number, email address, photo, etc.

Candidates are requested to ensure that the personal information submitted during online registration is exactly the same as that on the ID card. If the personal information submitted at the time of registration is inconsistent with the personal information of the ID card on the day of the examination, the examination qualification and examination results will be cancelled, and the examination will not be transferred, withdrawn or refunded.

Please check the online registration information carefully before submitting it, and all the consequences caused by input errors or false information shall be borne by the candidates themselves.
