For the PTE exam, you must carry your original, valid and non-expired passport. It is the primary and strictly required identification document.
If you don't have your passport yet and have applied for it, then you can also mention your application details. OR, you can request or inform the test centre authorities about your case and request them to allow you for bringing an alternate govt. ID at the exam centre on the day of the PTE exam.

PTE exam, in 2026, continues to be a 2-hour-long computer-based test that needs to be taken at an authorised test centre. PTE assesses English proficiency of the test takers on the basis of 4 key skills - Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. It comprises 22 types of integrated skills tasks that focus on real-life communication. Scoring is done by a trained AI algorithm, where only certain tasks are also checked by human experts. The main change in the exam pattern that the test takers will come around are in the number of questions for each task type - as the same has been changed since the addition of two new tasks back in 2025.
