Enquiry on Results (EOR) Form

Application for Additional TRFs
- We are only able to issue one Test Report Form (TRF) per test taker
- If you wish to have your results sent to a recognised organisation, you can enter this information on your application (up to a maximum of 5)
- If you only decide after you receive your results that you would like to send them to a recognising organisation, then we can do this on your behalf
- Please complete the Application for the issue of additional TRFs form and contact us on ielts@reading.ac.uk for more information
- To send results electronically, the receiving organisation must have registered with the TRF Verification Service. If they are not registered, only postal copies can be sent. All postal results will incur a postal fee of £15 per TRF and will be sent via tracked mail. On receiving the completed form the test centre will notify you if a postage fee applies and send the appropriate payment link.
