After giving my IELTS exam, where do I need to submit the IELTS certificate in Germany?
You submit your IELTS certificate through uni-assist or your university's own application portal for admissions, and bring the original to your German embassy or consulate visa appointment. Make sure your score is under two years old and matches the exact institutional code requested.
Where you submit your IELTS certificate in Germany depends on whether you are dealing with a university admission or a visa appointment. Each situation has its own submission channel that you need to follow.
Submission Channels By Purpose
| Purpose | Where You Submit |
|---|---|
| University Admission (via uni-assist) | Upload a scanned Test Report Form to your uni-assist portal |
| University Admission (direct portal) | Upload the PDF/scan to the university's own portal, such as Primuss or Selma |
| Student Visa | Embassy/consulate checks your Zulassungsbrief; carry the original TRF to your appointment |
| Work/Skilled Worker Visa | Submit directly to the embassy/consulate or via the Ausländerbehörde fast-track if employer-initiated |
Key Rules To Follow
- Your IELTS score must be less than two years old for German institutions to accept it
- Use the exact institutional code or name when requesting electronic score delivery
- Take IELTS Academic for universities, not IELTS General Training
My Advice
Confirm with your specific university whether they use uni-assist or their own portal before you send anything, and always carry a physical original of your certificate to your visa appointment as backup.
