Start with the official IELTS Getting and sharing your results page. IELTS says test takers can request official score delivery to chosen organisations through the booking portal. The receiving organisation decides whether it uses postal delivery or the IELTS Results Service electronic route.
Check the university’s instructions before sending anything. Confirm the exact campus, faculty or department, the accepted IELTS test type, the required score, the deadline and whether the university wants an electronic result, a Test Report Form reference or another process. Do not assume a screenshot or self-entered band score completes official verification.
Did you know IELTS Online results can be officially shared only through IELTS Results Service e-delivery? Delivery options can therefore depend on the test format and the receiving organisation. Use the portal entry that matches the test booking, and keep the candidate details consistent with the university application.

What to check before sending a result
Confirm the institution and course requirement
Use the university’s own admissions page as the final authority for the programme. An institution may accept IELTS generally while a specific degree sets a higher overall score, minimum component scores or a different validity expectation. Qualification eligibility does not guarantee admission, and sending a result does not replace the application itself.
Use the correct official delivery route
Log in through the booking or test-taker portal identified by IELTS and locate the result-sharing function. Search carefully for the receiving organisation and select the correct destination. If the organisation is not listed or its preferred method is unclear, contact its admissions office before requesting postal delivery to a guessed address.
Keep identity details consistent
Match the name, date of birth and other identifying details used for the IELTS test with the university application wherever possible. If details differ, follow the official correction or admissions instructions instead of creating an informal explanation that may not support automated verification. Save the result-sharing confirmation for your records.
Separate sharing from score review
Sending a result transmits the score already issued. It does not start an Enquiry on Results, change a band score or decide whether a university will waive its English-language requirement. Use the separate official review route if questioning a score, and the university’s policy if asking about exemptions or alternative evidence.
Your next action
Open the course’s English-language page and copy the required IELTS type, overall score, component scores and deadline. Then use the official IELTS sharing page and booking portal to choose the exact organisation and delivery method. Record the request date and check the university portal later for receipt rather than assuming delivery equals processing.
