IELTS results in Peru: when and how to know them

You won't have to wait long to find out your IELTS English test results. In fact, if you take IELTS on computer, your results will arrive typically within 2 days.

You can log in to the candidate portal to check your results. The results will be available to view online after they are released, but should not be used as an official confirmation of your performance. Please note that IELTS UKVI test scores are only issued physically and delivered personally.

If you took the IELTS test on a computer, you will be able to check your score online three to five days after you have taken your written IELTS test. Log in to access this information. 

The established times for the generation of results are as follows:

*As for the physical results, you will be able to pick them up personally on the days assigned by your center.

*If you requested the shipment of your results to your home, the shipment is made on Fridays and may take between 3 and 5 more working days, this will depend on the courier's delivery time and the destination city.

* If you have taken IELTS Online, you will receive your results electronically only, but you can print your electronic Test Result Form to send it to the organisations you are applying to.

Once you have taken your IELTS test, you are entitled to your original results in the form of an official physical certificate that you can pick up at our offices, or request home delivery.

You may also request the delivery of your results through a third party who must present a signed letter of authorization and a copy of the document registered by the candidate in his or her registration.

Your IELTS English test score will not be communicated by phone or email.

If you have any additional questions, please contact your official IELTS center. 

Please note that if you lose your Test Report Form or forget your IELTS English test results, you will need to contact the official IELTS center in Peru where you took your test.

• For information on your certificate, please send an email to ieltslat@britishcouncil.org
• For our authorized IELTS centres, Centro de Idiomas de la Universidad Pacífico and Asociación Cultural Peruano Británica, you will need to follow the instructions given by the centre where you made your registration. 
• If you have taken IELTS Online, you will receive your results electronically only, but you can print your electronic Test Result Form to send it to the organisations you are applying to.

If you would like us to send a copy of your IELTS transcript to the institution you are applying to, request it on the day you claim your original results. 

Digital activation

The activation of your IELTS score is generated on a digital platform and is free of charge. The university must be registered and have a password to enter the portal and verify your IELTS score; if it is not registered, it will not be possible to offer you this option. Please confirm this with your university.

If activation is not possible for the institution, the physical copy procedure will apply.

Physical Copy

You must complete the Additional Test Report Form (TRF) and bear the administrative costs of copying your IELTS transcript and sending it to us domestically or internationally. We will issue a maximum of five free copies of your IELTS transcript during the two-year validity period of your result. You will bear the cost of each mailing.

We will issue copies of your IELTS score, in addition to the above, if you have taken your test at official British Council IELTS centers as long as it is current (two years). You must bear the administrative costs of issuing the copy and sending it nationally or internationally. We will not be able to issue copies for you.

If you are requesting your IELTS score certificate to be sent to a mailing address, please write to us to let us know the cost of shipping; otherwise, we will not be able to process your request.

Institutions will view candidates' IELTS test scores through the IELTS Reporting Format (TRF) Verification Service. To do this, they must have your TRF number.

Write to us at ieltslat@britishcouncil.org indicating your complete information for more detailed information.

Organizations will not usually accept your IELTS results if they are more than two years old, unless you can show that you have actively maintained or improved your level of English since you took the test.

IELTS English test partners cannot confirm the validity of your IELTS score if it is more than two years old.

If you did not receive the score you expected, you can apply for your test to be re-marked. This is called an Enquiry on Results (EOR).

The fee for this service is 295.00 PEN, which will be refunded if your score is increased for any section of the test.

You need to apply for a re-marking no later than six weeks after the test date, regardless of whether you have taken IELTS on Paper or IELTS on Computer.

You can submit an Enquiry on Results online from the Test Taker Portal. 

The outcome of Enquiry of Results (EORs) can become available on the same day as your application and up to 21 days after your application. The time it takes depends on several factors, including the number of sections you’ve asked us to re-mark. If you have not received a response after 21 days, please contact your test centre. 

If you have any questions about the process or you took the exam in the paper version or Life Skills and wish to apply for this option, you can contact us by email ieltslat@britishcouncil.org.

Please note that: 

• You may request to review one, several or all components of the exam. The components selected must be the ones you wish to requalify; once your request is complete, you will not be able to make any changes.
• IELTS results cannot be used during the re-qualification process until the official response from IELTS is issued. This applies to physical and electronic copies.
• The response from the review takes a maximum of 12 weeks, as it depends on several factors, such as the number of components to be reviewed.  
• If the re-qualification response indicates that there was a change in the IELTS score in one, several or all of the components, the amount paid for this process will be refunded.

There is no limitation on retaking the IELTS English test. You can reserve your seat for the IELTS English test when you feel you are ready.

Please note that your score is unlikely to increase unless you make a significant effort to improve your English before retaking the test. Visit the IELTS test preparation section to take a mock IELTS English test and assess your level. 

There’s no way to accelerate your IELTS results, but now IELTS on computer results are faster than ever and come typically within 2 days.

Please note that your results may come a bit later (you may have to wait up to 5 days). This happens when we need to confirm your ID or check your score is correct.
