If Postal application then they will NOT send this back.
NCS should eturrn this document after taking a copy, thats the good thing about paying extra you get to keep all your docs.

Any idea why? Sure, after a successful application it is not needed anymore, but it is still a valid certificate the applicant paid money for. I think the practise of withholding it is questionable at best.

Who cares - you don't need the certificate for anything again - I got mine back from NCS and just threw it away ( not like you're going to frame it or anything ).

Seeing as it is a statutory critical test - primarily of language, and many people have been caught trying to having somebody else take the test for them, it wouldn't make sense to have a large amount of them out there.
