What is IELTS TRF meaning?

Test Report Form or TRF is a copy of your IELTS result. Each candidate is issued only one IELTS TRF, which stands valid for two years. You receive one copy of your TRF, unless you are applying to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), or the United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA) - in this case, you can receive two. To avail these two copies, you’ll have to provide with a proof of application to CIC and UKBA. Up to five copies of your ATRF will be posted to institution(s) that you list on your IELTS application form. While regular postage is free of charge, there may be additional charges for courier services and/or overseas postage that are passed onto you.

What is Additional Test Report Form (ATRF)?

You may request for Additional TRFs beyond the first five TRFs from your test centre which issued the results. Please note, an administration fee may be charged for additional TRFs and if you lose your TRF, you’ll have to contact the test centre to report the same. If you’ve applied to any of the international educational or professional institutions who are subscribed to receive the IELTS scores, you’d not require submitting original copies of TRFs. They can directly view your scores online. To collect your TRF from the test centre, you’ll need to bring along the same identity proof you used to register for the test. Do remember that your test centre is not authorised to provide with your test results over an email, call or via fax.
