ID rules, results and One Skill Retake
For the standard test, Folkuniversitetet accepts a valid passport, an EU national ID card valid for travel, or a Swedish national ID card issued by the police. It does not accept driving licences, Skatteverket ID cards or residence permits. For UKVI and Life Skills only a passport or the police-issued Swedish ID card is accepted.
Results arrive 1 to 5 days after the test. One Skill Retake must be booked within 60 days of the full test, by emailing Folkuniversitetet, and taken at the same centre (One Skill Retake). IELTS Online is for university applications; Folkuniversitetet says to take a centre test for visas and immigration.
