📚 IELTS Registration and Test Day: You Must Use the Same ID Document | 雅思报名与考试必须使用同一份身份证件
Every year a number of IELTS candidates are refused entry to the test room for one entirely preventable reason: the identity document in their bag is not the one they used when they registered. The consequence is severe – no test, no refund, no transfer and no deferral. This guide explains exactly what the “same ID document” rule means, which documents are acceptable in mainland China, what to do if your ID is lost, renewed or replaced, and how to self-check everything before test day.
每年都有一些雅思考生因为一个完全可以避免的原因被拒绝进入考场：他们包里带的身份证件，并不是报名时所用的那一份。后果非常严厉——不能考试、不退费、不能转考、不能延期。本文将详细说明”同一份身份证件”规则到底意味着什么、在中国大陆哪些证件可以使用、证件丢失或换发后该怎么办，以及考前如何逐项自查。
1. Why IELTS Insists on One Single Identity Document | 雅思为什么坚持”一份证件”
IELTS is a high-stakes test used for university admission, professional registration and immigration. Because institutions and immigration authorities rely on the Test Report Form (TRF) to confirm that a specific person achieved a specific score, identity verification is treated as a core part of test security, not as paperwork. The ID number you register with is printed on your TRF and stored in the global candidate record, so any mismatch between registration and test day breaks the chain of verification.
雅思是用于大学录取、职业注册和移民的高利害考试。由于院校和移民机构依赖成绩单（TRF）来确认”某个具体的人取得了某个具体分数”，身份核验被视为考试安全的核心环节，而不是简单的行政手续。你报名时使用的证件号码会印在成绩单上并存入全球考生记录，因此报名信息与考试当天出示的证件一旦不一致，整条核验链条就会断裂。
Centres also take a photograph of every candidate on test day and, at many centres, biometric data such as a fingerprint scan. These are matched against the registered identity record. If the document you present does not match that record, the system flags you as a different person.
考点还会在考试当天为每位考生现场拍照，很多考点还会采集指纹等生物识别信息，这些都会与已登记的身份记录进行比对。如果你出示的证件与该记录不一致，系统就会把你判定为”另一个人”。
2. Which Document You Must Register With in Mainland China | 在中国大陆报名必须用哪类证件
The acceptable document depends on your nationality and residency status, not on your personal preference. In mainland China the rules are as follows.
可以使用的证件取决于你的国籍和居住身份，而不是你个人的偏好。在中国大陆，规定如下。
| Candidate type | 考生身份 | Document required at registration and on test day | 报名及考试当天必须使用的证件 |
| Mainland China resident | 中国大陆考生 | Valid second-generation resident ID card (二代居民身份证) | 有效的第二代居民身份证 |
| Hong Kong / Macao resident | 香港、澳门考生 | Valid HK/Macao resident ID, Home Return Permit or HK/Macao Residence Permit | 有效的港澳居民身份证、港澳居民来往内地通行证或港澳居民居住证 |
| Taiwan resident | 台湾考生 | Valid Taiwan Residents Travel Permit to the Mainland or Taiwan Residence Permit | 有效的台湾居民来往大陆通行证或台湾居民居住证 |
| Non-Chinese national | 非中国籍考生 | Valid passport | 有效的护照 |
The critical point for mainland candidates is that a passport is not an acceptable substitute for the resident ID card when testing inside mainland China, even if you hold a valid passport. Many candidates assume “any government ID works” and discover on the morning of the test that it does not.
对中国大陆考生而言，最关键的一点是：在大陆参加考试时，护照不能替代居民身份证，即使你持有有效护照。很多考生想当然地认为”任何政府证件都可以”，结果在考试当天早上才发现不行。
3. Filling In Your Identity Details Correctly at Registration | 报名时如何正确填写证件信息
Most ID problems are created at the registration stage, not on test day. Your name, date of birth and document number must be typed exactly as they appear on the document you will bring. For Chinese candidates, the name must be written in pinyin with the surname first, matching the pinyin on the ID card or as used in the registration system, with no tones, no hyphens added arbitrarily and no reversed order.
大多数证件问题实际上是在报名阶段、而不是考试当天造成的。你的姓名、出生日期和证件号码必须与你将要携带的那份证件上的信息完全一致。对中国考生而言，姓名需按规定以拼音填写、姓在前，与身份证或报名系统所采用的方式一致，不加声调符号、不随意添加连字符、也不能颠倒顺序。
- Check the document number digit by digit before you pay. | 付款前请逐位核对证件号码。
- Use the same document type for every IELTS test you book. | 你报名的每一场雅思考试都应使用同一类证件。
- Do not let a parent, agent or friend register under their own document details. | 不要让父母、中介或朋友用他们自己的证件信息替你报名。
- Keep the confirmation email, which shows the document type and number you registered with. | 保留确认邮件，上面记录了你的报名证件类型和号码。
4. The Core Rule: Registration ID = Test Day ID | 核心规则：报名证件 = 考试证件
The rule can be written as a single equation. All three elements must match: document type, document number and the name printed on it. Bringing “another valid ID” is not an acceptable substitute for the document you registered with.
这条规则可以用一个等式来概括。三项要素必须全部一致：证件类型、证件号码以及证件上的姓名。带”另一份有效证件”并不能替代你报名时使用的那份证件。
Document type at registration = Document type on test day
Document number at registration = Document number on test day
Name at registration = Name on the document
The same requirement applies to the speaking test, the written test, the computer-delivered test, IELTS for UKVI and every retake. The document is not simply checked once: it is inspected at the registration desk, checked again before you enter the test room and verified again at the speaking interview.
同样的要求适用于口试、笔试、机考、用于英国签证及移民的雅思考试（UKVI）以及每一次重考。证件并不是只查验一次：在签到台会核验，进考场前会再核验，口试时还会再核对一次。
5. What Counts as a Valid Document on Test Day | 考试当天什么证件才算有效
A document is accepted only if it is the original, is valid on the test date and contains a photograph and personal details that match the registration record. Photocopies, screenshots, scanned files on a phone, certified copies, notarised copies and expired originals are all refused.
一份证件只有同时满足以下条件才会被接受：必须是原件、在考试当天仍然有效，并且包含照片和与报名记录一致的个人信息。复印件、手机截图、扫描件、公证件、认证副本以及已过期的原件，一律不予接受。
- Original physical document only – no photographs or digital copies. | 只接受实体原件——照片和电子件无效。
- Still valid on the test date – an ID expiring the day before is not valid. | 考试当天必须仍在有效期内——考试前一天过期即为无效。
- Undamaged and machine-readable, with the photo intact. | 证件未损坏、可机读、照片完整。
- In mainland China, temporary ID cards, household registers, driving licences and student cards are generally not accepted. | 在中国大陆，临时身份证、户口本、驾驶证和学生证通常不被接受。
If your situation is unusual, such as a document being reissued shortly before the test, confirm with your test centre in writing before test day rather than assuming.
如果你的情况比较特殊，例如证件在考前不久才补办，请在考试前以书面方式向考点确认，不要凭猜测行事。
6. How the Identity Check Works on Test Day | 考试当天的身份核验流程
The check is systematic rather than casual. You present your document at the registration desk, staff compare the photo, name and number with the record, you are photographed for the candidate record, and at many centres a fingerprint is taken. Your document is then placed on the desk during the test so the invigilator can re-verify you, and it is returned before you leave.
核验是系统性的，而非随意看看。你在签到台出示证件，工作人员将照片、姓名和号码与记录比对，随后为你拍照存入考生档案，很多考点还会采集指纹。考试期间证件会被放在你桌面上，方便监考再次核对，离场前归还。
Arrive early. Centres publish a strict arrival time, typically well before the start of the written test, and candidates who arrive after the door closes are not admitted regardless of the reason. A missing or mismatched document is treated the same way: you are refused entry, and the test fee is not refunded.
请提前到场。考点会公布严格的到达时间，通常远早于笔试开始时间，迟到者无论理由如何都不允许入场。证件缺失或与报名不符的情况同样处理：拒绝入场，考试费不予退还。
7. Speaking Test, Computer-Delivered and UKVI | 口试、机考与 UKVI
The speaking test may be scheduled up to seven days before or after the written test, and many candidates wrongly assume the check is less strict there. It is not. You must present the same document at the speaking interview, and it must still be the same document type and number you registered with.
口试可能安排在笔试前或后七天之内，很多考生误以为口试的查验会宽松一些。事实并非如此。口试时你必须出示同一份证件，且证件类型和号码必须与报名时一致。
- Computer-delivered IELTS follows identical identity rules. | 机考雅思遵循完全相同的证件规定。
- IELTS for UKVI follows identical identity rules. | 用于英国签证及移民的雅思考试遵循完全相同的证件规定。
- Speaking tests held on a separate day still require the same document. | 单独安排在其他日期的口试同样需要出示同一份证件。
- If you sit two tests, keep using the same document for both. | 如果你参加两场考试，两场都应使用同一份证件。
8. Lost, Expired, Renewed or Replaced Documents | 证件丢失、过期、换发或更换
If your document is lost, stolen, expired or replaced after you register, contact your test centre immediately. In most cases changes to identity details can only be processed before the registration deadline, and in some cases you may need to cancel the booking and register again, which means paying again.
如果你在报名之后证件丢失、被盗、过期或换发，请立即联系考点。多数情况下，身份信息只能在报名截止日期之前修改；有些情况下你只能取消原报名并重新报名，也就是说需要重新缴费。
A renewed second-generation ID card normally keeps the same document number, so the record usually still matches, but you must bring the new physical card and it is wise to inform the centre in writing. A renewed passport, however, receives a new number, so a passport holder whose passport is replaced must contact the centre before the deadline.
换发的第二代居民身份证通常保留原证件号码，因此记录一般仍然匹配，但你必须携带新的实体证件，并最好以书面方式告知考点。而换发的护照会获得新的护照号码，因此持护照报名的考生在护照更换后，必须在截止日期前联系考点。
If your name has legally changed, the name on your document will differ from the registration record even if the number is unchanged. This also requires prior approval from the centre. Never simply turn up and explain; the decision is made before test day, not at the door.
如果你依法更改了姓名，即使证件号码不变，证件上的姓名也会与报名记录不一致，这同样需要提前获得考点批准。千万不要到了现场再解释；决定必须在考试日之前作出，而不是在门口作出。
9. Ten Mistakes That Cost Candidates Their Test Fee | 十个让考生白白损失考试费的错误
Nearly all refusals come from a small set of predictable errors. Read the table below and check whether any of them applies to you.
几乎所有被拒入场的情况都来自少数几类可预见的错误。请阅读下表，看看自己是否中招。
| Mistake | 错误 | Why it fails | 为什么不行 |
| Registering with a passport, bringing an ID card | 用护照报名，带身份证考试 | Document type does not match | 证件类型不符 |
| Bringing an expired ID card | 携带已过期的身份证 | Must be valid on the test date | 必须在考试当天有效 |
| Showing a photo of the ID on a phone | 用手机出示证件照片 | Only originals are accepted | 只接受原件 |
| Bringing a temporary ID card | 携带临时身份证 | Generally not accepted in mainland China | 在大陆通常不被接受 |
| Name order or spelling differs from the ID | 姓名顺序或拼写与证件不符 | Name must match exactly | 姓名必须完全一致 |
| Bringing a driving licence instead | 改带驾驶证 | Not an accepted document | 不属于规定证件 |
| Giving the ID to a friend for safekeeping | 把证件交给朋友保管 | You cannot enter without it | 没有证件无法入场 |
| Using a different ID for the speaking test | 口试时使用另一份证件 | Speaking tests require the same document | 口试同样要求同一份证件 |
| Two bookings under two different IDs | 用两份不同证件报名两场考试 | Scores may be cancelled | 成绩可能被取消 |
| Assuming a new passport will be fine | 以为换了新护照也没关系 | New number breaks the match | 新号码导致信息不符 |
10. Pre-Test Checklist | 考前证件自查清单
Run through this checklist at least a week before the test, then again the night before. Both checks matter, because a problem found a week early can usually be fixed.
请在考前至少一周过一遍下面的清单，考前一晚再过一遍。两次检查都很重要，因为提前一周发现的问题通常还能补救。
- Is your document the same type and number as at registration? | 你的证件类型和号码与报名时一致吗？
- Is it still within its validity period on the test date? | 它在考试当天是否仍在有效期内？
- Is it the original physical document, undamaged and readable? | 它是否是完好的实体原件、且可正常读取？
- Does the name and pinyin match your registration exactly? | 姓名和拼音是否与报名信息完全一致？
- Do you know your exact arrival time and the test centre address? | 你清楚准确到达时间和考点地址吗？
- Will you carry the document personally, not leave it with anyone? | 你会亲自携带证件、不交给他人保管吗？
- If anything has changed, have you contacted the centre in writing? | 如果有任何变更，你是否已书面联系考点？
11. Consequences and Frequently Asked Questions | 后果与常见问题
Being refused entry is not a minor inconvenience. You lose the full test fee, you cannot transfer to another date, you cannot obtain a deferral, and the absence is recorded against your booking. Repeated identity problems can also lead to further investigation of your candidate record.
被拒绝入场并不是小小的不便。你会损失全部考试费，不能转考，不能延期，缺考记录也会留在你的报名档案中。反复出现身份问题，还可能导致对你的考生记录进行进一步调查。
Can I bring my passport if I registered with an ID card? No. In mainland China the document type must match exactly.
我用身份证报名，可以带护照去考试吗？ 不可以。在中国大陆，证件类型必须完全一致。
My ID was stolen two days before the test. What now? Contact the centre immediately and in writing. Depending on timing, you may be able to change your details or may have to rebook. Do not simply attend and explain.
我的证件在考前两天被盗了，怎么办？ 立即以书面方式联系考点。视时间节点，你可能可以更改信息，也可能必须重新报名。不要直接到现场再解释。
Do I need the ID for the speaking test too? Yes. The same document is required for every component and every day of your test.
口试也需要带证件吗？ 需要。考试的每一个部分、每一天都必须使用同一份证件。
