 Before you can understand how to book PTE exam, you need to understand if you are eligible in the first place. Being a language proficiency test for university-level English usage, anyone can take the PTE test if they comply with the following conditions:

• Age Restriction: A minimum age limit of 16 years; test-takers below 18 years of age need parental consent.

The only identity proof that PTE accepts in India is a passport. It is compulsory for Indian citizens taking tests inside as well as outside India. During PTE exam registeration, test-takers need to fill in details as mentioned in their passports. The same ID document, in original, has to be presented at the test centre on the test date. Otherwise, Pearson does not allow the test-takers to appear for the PTE exam.  

In case a passport is submitted to the authority for renewal, the test-taker needs to present the passport renewal receipt acknowledging the renewal submission, along with the original passport with a CANCELED stamp. This is a mandatory requirement especially when you plan to conduct PTE exam date booking.
