All three test centers will want you to come to the test day with all of the necessary identification and it must match the identification that you provide in your registration form exactly. Also, if you know the institutions to which you will apply when you write the test, indicate that those schools should receive the results of your English Test. Institutions usually want the results to come directly from the test centre not forwarded by you.
