Verifying results

A secure and quick way to verify your candidate’s results

You can check the authenticity of any Cambridge English result by using our free online Results Verification Service. The free service is secure, easy to use, and means you can be certain that a candidate’s result is valid. You will be able to see an applicant’s Statement of Results and a photo taken on the day of the test.

It only takes a few minutes to:

register to create a free user account for the site
log in to access the results verification page
verify the result using the Candidate ID number and secret number supplied by the applicant (candidates can find this on their Confirmation of Entry).

Our quick guide gives you step-by-step instructions on how to get started.

Frequently asked questions

Who can use the Results Verification Service?

The online Results Verification Service is for:

universities
colleges
employers
other organisations that accept our exams.

It allows people to check Cambridge English exam results quickly, accurately and securely.

Organisations wishing to check an IELTS result should use the IELTS Test Report Form Verification Service.

People who have taken our exams should not use it to check their results. Candidates can check their results online using the Online Results Service.

How do I access the Results Verification Service?

Go to the Results Verification Service website and enter your username and password to log in. You will need the relevant candidate ID number and secret number to view exam results.

I need to check the result of an applicant, but my choice of password is not accepted when I try to register.

Passwords must be at least seven characters in length and must contain at least one digit, one non-alphanumeric character (full stop, comma, etc.) and both upper-case (A–Z) and lower-case (a–z) letters.

A test taker does not have their ID number and/or secret number. How can we check their result?

Please ask the test taker to contact the authorised examination centre where the examination was originally taken. The centre should be able to provide the required information.

I cannot view the Statement of Results PDF.

Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed. You can download it here.
Make sure you have turned off the pop-up blocker, or configured it to allow pop-ups from the Results Verification Service site. The option to do this may be found in the ‘Tools’ menu of most browsers.

I am not able to check a candidate’s results using the online Results Verification Service.

Not all results can be checked using this website. For example, you will not be able to verify:

exams taken before 2005
teaching qualifications (except Delta Module One).
