Use the menu to find your Candidate Bookings. Under the right test, click Details.

Go to your Application Details to view and update your ID information.

Be prepared to upload your saved photo or a scan of your ID document. Click Select Image.

Note: Your ID will stay "unverified" until a staff member checks it. Please allow a few days for us to do this due to the high volume of applications. Do not worry if your application hasn't been verified yet - you can still attend your test.

Photo requirements:

• JPG, PNG or PDF only
• Less than 5MB
• For passports: Take a photo of the page showing your photo, name, and expiry date of the passport. You also need to provide a photo of the signature page. If your signature does not appear on the same page, you will need to combine both pages in the same document.
• For PR cards: Take a photo of the front of your PR card, showing your name, photo and card expiry date.
• The photo must be clear (not blurry), taken in colour, and show all 4 corners of the document.
• Do not take the photo in bright light. Avoid glare by taking the photo out of direct light.

Make sure the following information is correct:

• Your ID document number. This will be printed on your Test Report Form, so it must be correct.
• Your ID expiry date.
