Please Read The Guidelines Carefully

- I am aware that I should be at the examination center at least 30 minutes before the scheduled examination time.
- I understand that the ÖSD – examination center will not issue any further reminder regarding the examination date and time, unless changed by the center for a valid reason. If the examination is postponed by the examination center due to force majeure (pandemic, storm, etc.), the examination will be rescheduled as soon as the obstacle no longer exists. The new exam date will be communicated in good time. I understand that I have no right to a desired date and that the examination fee will not be reimbursed if I do not take the examination.

I understand, that if any other person attempts to take the examination in my place, both I and such person are liable to prosecution. The e-mail address provided is my own and I will check the mailbox regularly for incoming messages from the examination center, including the spam folder.
- I understand that I am required to present my valid original passport, national ID as proof of identification on the exam day and when I claim my test results or certificate. The exam center is further authorized to ask for different ID. Therefore I understand that I am required to bring an additional valid ID with picture.
