Receiving the certificate

Candidates will receive their certificate within 60 days of their successful exam. In addition to the state-approved certificate, they will also receive an international certificate issued by telc gGmbH, in case they took a successful complex exam.

How will I receive it?

Certificates are issued to that exam centre where the registration was submitted. You need to visit the centre’s customer service office during business hours and show proof of your ID to receive your certificate. Information over the phone is not available regarding examination results.

What should I do if I am unable to receive my certificate in person?

You may send someone else with a written authorization to receive your certificate.

I applied for complex examination but succeeded only in part. Can I still get a certificate?

Yes, successful written or oral exam results (English, German B1, B2, C1) are rewarded with the appropriate certificate. In this scenario, a partial exam certificate and an international result sheet is issued.

Frequently asked questions

-

CAN I RECEIVE A PARTIAL EXAM CERTIFICATE?

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE EARNED A PARTIAL EXAM CERTIFICATE, BUT I NEED A COMPLEX ONE?

Next time you will need to apply for the missing part of the exam only and pay partial exam fee accordingly. The appropriate partial exam certificates combined are equivalent to the complex exam certificate.

I HAVE LOST MY CERTIFICATE. CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT?

Only one certificate can be issued for a particular exam. In case you have lost your certificate, you can request a document called Second Copy, which confirms your successful exam. This document is equivalent to your original certificate. For a Second Copy you should send a request to the Educational Authority’s Language Exam Accreditation Center.
