Candidates looking to cancel their IELTS exam fee can check out the charges below:

If you cancel your IELTS application more than five weeks before the test date, you will receive a refund minus a 25% administrative fee.
If you cancel the IELTS exam less than five weeks ahead of the test date, you will receive no refund.
In case you fail to appear for the test, then also you will not receive any refund. This is also considered a cancellation.

Those who can produce a medical certificate within 5 days of the test date can receive a refund after deducting the local administrative cost.

Hi Anil,
You can put forward a request for cancellation or postponement of your IELTS test, but this must be made 5 weeks before the test date. You must visit the test center or email them for cancelling your slot. Please note that if you cancel your slot within 5 weeks due to medical reasons along with supporting medical certificate, you may be eligible for refund.
Please visit your nearest British council or IDP center for more details.
Good luck.

What if I get late on IELTS exam day?

Please check the Reporting Time on your email. You should reach the centre 30 minutes early. Once the main GATE is closed, the security will not allow anyone to enter. You will lose your exam fee. So please check traffic and plan properly.

What documents do I need to bring at IELTS test centres?

Raushan Kumar

You must bring your Original Passport. This is mandatory. Please check that the passport number is same as what you used during registration. If you bring a photocopy or just a photo in mobile, you will not be allowed to sit for the exam. No other ID card like license or Aadhar is accepted.
