Because English-language skills may improve or decline over time, ETS Global and Representatives will re-issue and confirm score results for 2 years after taking the test.

On the test day, you must have an acceptable and valid ID with a signature and a recent photograph to be admitted to a test center. Acceptable primary identification documents:

• National identification or passport for E.U test-takers taking the test in the E.U.;

• Passport for non-Europeans test-takers (important: resident permits are not authorized);

• Driver’s license or military identification for test-takers who are taking the test in their country of citizenship (you could, for example, use your French driver’s license to take the test in France).

For more information, do not hesitate to check the Examinee Handbook related to the test you wish to take.

ETS has designed two programs to support decision-making in different settings:

• The TOEIC® Institutional Testing Program: delivers a nationally recognized score report without the test taker’s photo.

• The TOEIC® Public Testing Program: delivers an international score report with the test taker’s photo.

Both programs guarantee fair, valid and reliable test scores correlated onto the CEFR. The test itself (length, difficulty, number of items, score scale…) is the same. The main difference between the two programs lies in the recommended usages of the score reports and the format of the score reports delivered.
