You must use the same ID you used to book your test. You can still apply to sit the IELTS test in Australia if you don’t have a passport, however only for three specific scenarios given below. The following options will have to go through our Verification of Identity process before being accepted.
Australian citizen by birth – birth certificate, and drivers’ licence.
Not born in Australia, but acquired Australian citizenship – Australian citizen certificate, and drivers’ licence.
Refugee – A travel document – a certificate with a serial number able to be verified by the Australian government or an Immi Card – issued by the Australian government. We also ask that you provide us with a driving licence.
In exceptional circumstances, and when a test taker does not have a valid passport or national identity card, please contact us at least one week before your preferred test date. Approval for alternative ID must be received before the test day. Without prior approval, you'll not be able to sit the test and transfers and refunds will not be available.
