IELTS test reuse for ILR: what defines the same test provider?

Post by irinka » Fri Aug 06, 2021 3:08 pm

I am applying for ILR after 5 years on Tier 2 visa, and I have a IELTS for UKVI test certificate I used in my first tier2 application back in 2016.
The test provider in 2016 was:
IELTS SELT Consortium, Russia, Rostov-on-Don, test centre number RU097.
As of today the record on the gov.uk list appears as:
IELTS SELT Consortium, Russia, Rostov-on-Don, test centre number RU069.
Is it considered a different provider or the same? Can I reuse my old test certificate issued by RU097?

Thank you. Is there any official guidance on that? I am worried because there is no mentions of test center name on the certificate, only the test centre number (RU097) and this number is not on the list.

There is no need to worry as you should qualify automatically. The worst-case scenario they will ask you to retest but it will not get there
