What documentation do I need to book my test?

In most countries worldwide, the ID needed for booking PTE online should be your valid passport.

During Pearson PTE exam booking, you need to include the information from your passport. On exam day, you must present the original passport at the testing location.

Regarding identity verification, you must pay attention to the following requirements:

• The issue date of the ID cannot be more than 10 years old. 
• Your test registration name must accurately match the name on your ID.
• Your ID photo must match your appearance.
• You must bring the original ID on the exam day; a photocopy of your ID or even a certified one is unacceptable.

To avoid unexpected situations before the test day,  you should also be aware of the following:

• If you do not hold your passport since your visa application is still pending, you must ask for it back before the exam day.
• If your child’s passport (under 18) is still valid, but the photo doesn’t match your appearance now, you might not be allowed to take the test and lose your test fee.
• If you do not have a current passport or can not present another document in the exceptions and variations list, you will not be able to take the test and lose your test fee.
