Refund policy

Exam fee refunds are processed by the refund deadline for each exam type. Exceptions such as natural disasters or the death of an immediate family member are handled separately after review of evidence.

The refundable amount depends on how many days remain before the exam (see the thresholds for each exam type below). You can check your registration status and payment history in My registrations after signing in.
