Statutory declarations and certificates signed by family members are not acceptable. The Administrator will advise the candidate within one week of lodging the application whether or not their request has been approved.

Transfers – Transfers are possible only under exceptional circumstances and should be applied before the test and up to five days after the test date. If the candidate’s application is approved, candidates must select a test date within the next three-month period and this will be approved by the Administrator depending on availability for the selected test date. There may be limited availability for test dates in the first five-week period. Candidates who wish to transfer to a test date more than three months away should apply for a refund and then re-apply for the test.
