INTERNATIONAL TEST CENTER FEE
Candidates who register to take the exam outside of the United States, U.S. territories or Canada will incur a U.S.$55 international test center fee.

INTERNATIONAL EXAM RESCHEDULES
Candidates can reschedule exam appointments as often as they wish within their testing window. Exam testing windows, however, cannot be changed. Test center seats fill up quickly, so be sure to reschedule as early as possible during the testing window.

There is no charge for rescheduling exam appointments but this must be done no later than 12:00 noon (Regional Contact Center time) five business days before the scheduled exam. Candidates who do not reschedule exam appointments within that time frame and who do not appear to take the exam will be considered no-show candidates and will forfeit all fees. Candidates attempting to reschedule their exam appointment less than 30 days before the end of the testing window cannot be guaranteed that a seat will be available. To reschedule your appointment, contact Thomson Prometric at www.prometric.com/hrci or your Regional Contact Center.

INTERNATIONAL WITHDRAWALS AND REFUND POLICIES

Withdrawals
Candidates may withdraw from the exam by canceling their appointment on or before 12:00 noon (Regional Contact Center time), five business days before the exam appointment. To cancel an exam, contact Thomson Prometric at www.prometric.com/hrci or your Regional Contact Center.

Candidates who have not scheduled an appointment with Thomson Prometric but who wish to withdraw from the exam should refer to the “Refunds” section of this appendix.

Withdrawing from an exam appointment does not automatically trigger a refund. Refund requests must be submitted in writing to PES on or before the last day of the testing window. Please see the refund policy and procedures below for more information.

INTERNATIONAL NO-SHOW CANDIDATES
Candidates who do not appear for their scheduled exam appointment, who arrive more than 15 minutes late for their appointment, who appear with improper ID or who cancel their appointment later than 12:00 noon (Regional Contact Center time) five business days before the scheduled exam (without a documented personal or medical emergency) will be considered no-shows and will forfeit all fees. No-show candidates may reapply for a future exam window and pay the full fees.

PRESENTING POSITIVE PROOF OF IDENTITY AT INTERNATIONAL TEST CENTERS
All identification documents must be in Latin characters. Candidates testing outside of their country of citizenship must present a passport. Candidates testing within their country of citizenship must present either a passport, driver’s license, national ID or military ID. Candidates must have acceptable and unexpired photo identification to be admitted to a test center. If a candidate’s primary ID does not have a photo and signature, a secondary (backup) ID that contains either a photo or signature (whichever is missing on primary) may be presented. The name on the backup ID must exactly match the primary ID and the name in the scheduling system. Candidates who arrive at the test center without the required identification will not be permitted to test and will forfeit all fees.

CONFIRMING INTERNATIONAL APPOINTMENTS
Appointment confirmation numbers are given to candidates at the time the appointment is made. If appointments are made by phone, appointment details are verified over the phone and no e-mail confirmation of your appointment will be sent. Candidates who schedule online will receive e-mail confirmations of their appointments. Candidates can confirm appointments online at www.prometric.com/hrci (the appointment confirmation number will be required). If you lose your confirmation number, you can confirm your appointment by contacting your Regional Contact Center. Candidates should verify their appointments as soon as possible, but no later than three days before the scheduled exam.
