HOW DO AUTHORITIES WHO ACCEPT IELTS KNOW IF AN IELTS RESULT IS GENUINE?
Most organisations that accept IELTS (universities, immigration authorities) have direct access to the global on-line IELTS verification service. From their computer they can see: if any of the information on the test report form has been altered e.g. band scores, photo, id numbers etc and decipher if an IELTS test report form is genuine This ensures that only genuine IELTS test report forms are accepted. Presenting a fake or altered test report form can have serious consequences for candidates .
