📚 IELTS Free Score Report Sending to Five Institutions: How to Fill It In at Registration | 雅思成绩单免费寄送五所院校：报名时填写的做法
Every IELTS candidate is entitled to have the Test Report Form (TRF) sent to a limited number of recognising organisations at no extra cost, and the most convenient moment to nominate them is during registration. Getting this step right saves money, avoids delays in admissions, and prevents the frustrating situation where a university never receives an official score. This guide explains the rules, the exact fields you will see in the booking system, the information you must prepare, and the mistakes that cause most problems.
每位雅思考生都享有将成绩单（TRF）免费寄送给若干认可机构的权益，而最省事的做法就是在报名阶段一次性填好。填对这一步既能省钱，也能避免申请延误，更不会出现"学校始终没收到官方成绩"的尴尬。本文讲清规则、报名系统里会出现的具体字段、需要提前准备的材料，以及最容易出错的几个环节。
1. What the Five Free Deliveries Really Are | 五个免费名额的本质
The five free deliveries are not five extra paper copies for your own file. They are five official dispatches of your TRF from the test centre to recognising organisations that you nominate. The cost is already absorbed into your test fee, which is why the service is called free. Only organisations can be nominated - universities, colleges, professional bodies, immigration authorities and similar institutions. You cannot nominate yourself, a relative, a friend or an education agent.
五个免费名额并不是五份额外打印出来给你自己保存的纸质成绩单，而是考试中心代表你，把官方成绩单直接寄送给五家由你指定的认可机构。相关费用已经包含在报名费里，所以才叫"免费"。收件方只能是机构——大学、学院、职业资格机构、移民局等。不能填你本人、亲属、朋友或留学中介。
This matters because many universities require an official score sent directly by the test provider. A scan you upload yourself is often treated as an unofficial document and may not satisfy the admissions condition. Using your free dispatches correctly is therefore part of the application itself, not a cosmetic extra.
这一点非常关键：很多大学明确要求成绩必须由考试机构直接寄送。你自己上传的扫描件通常被视为非官方材料，未必能满足录取条件。因此，正确使用免费寄送名额本身就是申请流程的一部分，而不是可有可无的附加操作。
2. Official Rules and the Registration Entry Point | 官方规则与报名填写入口
The entitlement is usually described as sending results to up to five institutions free of charge, either before or after the test. In mainland China, registration runs through the NEEA IELTS portal, and the screen for nominating recipients appears as part of the booking flow under a heading such as score report delivery organisations. Overseas British Council and IDP booking systems use similar wording, sometimes phrased as score recipients or additional score report requests.
官方通常表述为：考生可免费将成绩寄送给最多五所机构，考试前或考试后均可办理。在中国大陆，报名通过教育部考试中心（NEEA）雅思报名网站完成，选择收件机构的页面会出现在报名流程中，一般叫"成绩单寄送单位"之类。境外的英国文化教育协会或 IDP 报名系统用词相近，有时写作"成绩接收机构"或"额外成绩单申请"。
Rules, screens and fees are revised from time to time, so always treat the current booking interface and the official IELTS website as the final authority. What follows reflects the standard structure of that system and the logic behind each field, rather than a promise that any particular button will look identical on the day you book.
规则、界面和费用会不定期更新，因此最终以报名系统当下的页面和雅思官方说明为准。下文说明的是这套系统的标准结构与各字段背后的逻辑，并不保证你报名当天看到的按钮文字完全一致。
3. Information You Must Prepare in Advance | 必须提前准备的信息
Most problems come from arriving at this screen unprepared. The booking flow is timed, and if you hesitate you may end up skipping the section and dealing with it later, when the free window may still exist but the process is less convenient. Collect the following before you start the application.
绝大多数麻烦都源于坐到这一步时毫无准备。报名流程是有时间限制的，犹豫之下就可能直接跳过该环节，之后虽然仍有机会补填，但操作更麻烦。请在开始报名前先把下面的信息准备好。
- Institution full name | 院校或机构全称（以官方名称列表为准）
- Country and region | 所在国家 / 地区
- Faculty, department or programme | 院系、部门或具体项目名称（部分学校要求）
- Institution code | 机构代码（若名单中标明）
- Postal address or electronic delivery route | 邮寄地址或电子接收渠道
- Immigration or professional body reference | 移民局或职业评估机构的档案号（如适用）
Note that some institutions insist on a faculty-level address rather than a central admissions office, and a few require the programme code. Checking the university's own admissions page for its preferred IELTS delivery instruction takes five minutes and prevents a lost TRF.
要注意，有些学校要求寄到具体院系而非中央招生办，个别项目还要求填写项目代码。花五分钟去大学招生网页确认它对雅思成绩寄送的具体要求，能避免成绩单寄丢。
4. Searching the Institution List and Matching Codes | 检索院校名单与匹配代码
The booking system normally provides a searchable directory. Type the official name in full rather than an abbreviation, then filter by country. If the organisation appears, select it and the system fills in its details automatically. If it does not appear, the system usually offers a manual entry option, where you type the name and address yourself.
报名系统通常提供可检索的机构名单。请用官方全称搜索，不要用缩写，再按国家筛选。若机构在名单中，直接勾选，系统会自动带出信息。若名单中没有，系统一般会给出"手动填写"选项，由你自己输入名称和地址。
Where a code is published, use the code rather than the name - codes are unambiguous and avoid confusion between institutions with similar titles. Where no code exists, write the name exactly as it appears on the university's own website, and add the admissions office and postcode.
若名单中提供机构代码，请优先用代码而非名称——代码不会产生歧义，可避免同名或近名院校混淆。若没有代码，则严格照抄大学官网上的写法，并补上招生办和邮编。
| Scenario | 情形 | Action | 做法 |
| Institution found in the directory | 名单中能查到 | Select it and rely on the auto-filled data | 勾选，用系统自动带入的信息 |
| Code published | 有公开代码 | Enter the code as the primary identifier | 以代码作为主要标识 |
| Not in the directory | 名单中查不到 | Use manual entry with the official full name and address | 选手动填写，写官方全称与地址 |
5. Electronic vs Paper Delivery | 电子寄送与纸质寄送
Many institutions now accept an electronic Test Report Form, often delivered through a secure verification platform. Electronic delivery is faster, cheaper to process and less prone to loss in the post. Where the receiving organisation is registered for electronic delivery, the system may default to that method automatically.
现在很多院校接受电子成绩单，通常通过安全验证平台送达。电子寄送更快、处理成本更低，也不容易在邮寄途中丢失。若接收机构已开通电子接收，系统往往会自动默认选择电子方式。
Paper delivery still matters for immigration authorities, some professional bodies and a minority of universities that require a sealed physical document. Note that standard international post can take several weeks, while courier options may attract an extra charge. If a deadline is close, confirm which method the institution actually accepts before you choose.
但对于移民局、部分职业评估机构和少数坚持要纸质密封件的大学，纸质寄送仍不可替代。普通国际邮件可能耗时数周，快递则可能额外收费。若截止日期临近，务必先确认对方究竟接受哪种方式再作选择。
6. Six Common Filling Mistakes | 六种常见填写错误
Errors at this stage are rarely catastrophic on their own, but they cost time and sometimes money, because correcting a misdirected TRF often means paying for a replacement dispatch. The following six mistakes account for the majority of cases.
这一步填错通常不至于无法挽回，但会浪费时间，有时还要花钱——因为要重新付费寄送。以下六种错误覆盖了绝大多数情况。
- Spelling the institution name loosely. | 院校名称拼写随意，导致无法匹配或寄错学校。
- Choosing the wrong campus. | 选错校区，尤其是同一大学在不同城市设有分校时。
- Sending to a central office when the department must receive it. | 该寄院系的却寄到总部，材料在内部流转中丢失。
- Filling the wrong country. | 国家 / 地区填错，成绩单被寄往另一个大洲。
- Using all five slots on speculative choices. | 五个名额全填了尚未确定的学校，真正需要的却没名额。
- Assuming a scan you upload is an official TRF. | 误以为自行上传的扫描件等同于官方成绩单。
If you are unsure whether an institution accepts electronic delivery or requires paper, contact its admissions office first and keep the reply. A one-line email can save a full re-send cycle.
如果你不确定某校接受电子件还是要纸质件，先邮件询问招生办并保留回复。一封一句话的邮件，往往能省下一整轮重新寄送。
7. Can You Change the Choices After Registration? | 报名后还能修改吗
In most systems, nominations made at registration can still be added or adjusted later, provided the free entitlement has not been exhausted and the results are within the validity period. Some portals lock the section after payment and require you to submit a separate request after results are released.
多数系统允许在报名后继续添加或调整寄送机构，只要免费额度尚未用完、成绩仍在有效期内即可。但也有些报名系统在缴费后锁定该栏目，需要你在成绩公布后另行提交申请。
If you must change a recipient after the TRF has already been dispatched, the original delivery cannot be recalled. You will normally need to request a new dispatch, which is treated as an additional score report and may be chargeable. This is exactly why the registration stage deserves careful attention.
如果成绩单已经寄出才想更改，原寄送无法撤回。通常只能申请重新寄送，而这会被视为额外成绩单，可能需要付费。这正是报名阶段值得认真对待的原因。
8. The Two-Year Free Window and Deadlines | 两年免费窗口与时间节点
IELTS results are normally valid for two years, and the free sending entitlement sits inside that window. Before the test, the advantage is convenience; after the results are released, you can send scores with certainty about your band. Both approaches are legitimate, and the choice depends on whether your target list is already fixed.
雅思成绩通常有两年有效期，免费寄送权益也在这段窗口内。考前填写的好处是省事；出分后再填的好处是你已确切知道自己的分数，可以更有针对性地决定寄给谁。两种做法都合规，选哪种取决于你的目标院校名单是否已经确定。
Plan around your deadlines backwards. Allow roughly two weeks for electronic delivery to be processed and considerably longer for international post. If a university deadline falls in early January, the scores should reach the institution before the holiday period, not on the final day.
请以截止日期倒推安排。电子寄送一般预留约两周的处理时间，国际邮政则要留出更久。若某校截止在元月初，成绩应当在学校放假前送达，而不是卡在最后一天。
9. Paid Additional Sending and Current Fees | 付费加送与当前费用
Once the free entitlement is used, further dispatches are treated as additional score reports and are chargeable. In mainland China the long-standing fee has been around RMB 60 per copy, and the processing fee is charged per receiving organisation rather than per page. Overseas test centres set their own tariffs in local currency.
免费额度用完之后，再寄送就属于额外成绩单，需要付费。中国大陆长期以来的标准约为每份人民币 60 元，按接收机构计费而不是按页数计费。境外考区则以当地货币自行定价。
Fees, delivery options and electronic-sending policies change periodically, so confirm the current figure in your booking account or on the official site before you budget. Some organisations accept electronic delivery at a lower cost or free of charge, which can matter if you need to send to many places.
费用、寄送方式和电子寄送政策会定期调整，请在报名账户或官方网站确认最新数字后再做预算。部分机构接受电子寄送且费用更低甚至免费，若你需要寄送很多所学校，这一点相当重要。
10. Strategy: Allocating Five Slots Wisely | 策略：五个名额如何分配
Five sounds generous until you apply to eight universities. A practical approach is to sort your list into three tiers: firm choices, probable choices and backups. Give the free slots to institutions where an official TRF is mandatory and where you are genuinely confident of applying.
五所在你只申请三所时显得很多，但当你申请八所时就不够了。实用做法是把名单分三档：确定要去的、很可能申请的、保底的。把免费名额留给那些强制要求官方成绩单、且你确实确定会申请的学校。
Remember that immigration and professional registration bodies can also receive a free dispatch where the system permits. If you are applying for a visa that requires an official score, reserve one slot for that authority rather than assuming the university will forward anything on your behalf.
另外要记住，在系统允许的情况下，移民局和职业注册机构也可以占用免费名额。如果你申请的签证需要官方成绩，请专门留一个名额给它，不要指望学校替你转交。
11. Special Cases: UKVI, One Skill Retake and EOR | 特殊情形：UKVI、单科重考与复议
UKVI-approved tests follow the same delivery logic, but the score is additionally reported to the UK Home Office for visa purposes. Nominate your sponsoring institution in the usual way, and check whether the institution requires the UKVI version specifically, since a standard academic report may not satisfy a visa condition.
用于英国签证及移民的雅思考试（UKVI）在寄送逻辑上是一样的，但成绩还会为签证目的向英国内政部报送。你仍按常规填写担保院校，同时要确认该校是否明确要求 UKVI 版本——普通学术类成绩单未必能满足签证条件。
If you take a One Skill Retake, a new TRF is issued reflecting the updated single skill, and sending rules generally follow the same pattern. If you request an Enquiry on Results, the score may be frozen while the review is under way, and dispatches can be delayed or paused. Confirm the interaction between review and sending before you nominate recipients.
如果你参加"单科重考"，会签发一份更新了单科成绩的新成绩单，寄送规则大体相同。如果你申请成绩复议，在审核期间成绩可能被冻结，寄送会相应延迟或暂停。在填写收件机构之前，先确认复议与寄送之间的关系。
12. Final Checklist Before You Submit | 提交前的最终核查清单
Run through a short checklist on the confirmation page. This is the last moment at which errors are free to fix, and the cost of a two-minute check is almost nothing compared with a re-send.
在确认页面上过一遍简短清单。这是纠错成本最低的最后时刻——花两分钟核对，比事后重寄划算得多。
- Five recipients or fewer, each one an organisation, not an individual. | 收件方不超过五家，且都是机构而非个人。
- Country, institution name and campus correct. | 国家、院校名称和校区均正确。
- Department or programme specified where required. | 需要时已注明院系或项目。
- Delivery method matches what the institution accepts. | 寄送方式与对方接受的方式一致。
- Immigration or professional body included if needed. | 如需寄给移民局或职业机构，已占用名额。
- Screenshot or save the confirmation for your records. | 截图或保存确认信息作为凭证。
Finally, verify the outcome later rather than assuming success. Check your application portal for a status such as scores received, and if nothing appears after a reasonable period, contact the institution and the test centre with your candidate number and test date.
最后，要主动跟进结果，而不是假定一定寄达。查一查申请系统里是否出现"成绩已收到"之类的状态；若过了合理时间仍无显示，就带上你的考生号和考试日期，同时联系院校与考试中心。
