How to book, what ID to bring, and when results arrive
IELTS: book online with the British Council or IDP, choose Kuwait City and pick a session; the venue address comes in your confirmation. Register with the same identity document you will bring on test day.
PTE: create a myPTE account with details that exactly match your ID, choose the test, then a centre and a slot (Pearson's booking guide). Pearson's ID policy asks for a valid passport for every PTE test, and a passport is the only ID accepted if you test outside your country of citizenship, which covers most expatriate residents.
Results: IELTS on computer results usually arrive within a few days, and Pearson sends PTE scores typically within 48 hours (PTE scoring). Before you pay, take a free IELTS mock test or a free PTE mock test to check you are ready.
