If I qualify through ‘IELTS’, how long my certificate would stay valid?

In general, the validity of the IELTS certificate is 2 years from the test date. If your IELTS Test Report Form, (known as TRF) gets older than 2 years, you should consider sitting for the test again to get a fresh TRF form. Some absorbing bodies accept TRF, older than the 2 years. But it is wise to keep in mind that, ‘Certificate of Language Test’ loses its acceptance with time.
