All candidates participating in the paper-based and/or computer-based C1 Advanced (CAE) and C2 Proficiency (CPE) examinations are required to have their photograph taken on the day of their test.

This new regulation is one of a series of measures that have been introduced by Cambridge English in order to further enhance the security and integrity of the Cambridge English exams.

Please note the following:

• This regulation applies to the CAE and CPE examinations administered by the Hellenic American Union Center for Examinations and Certifications; it does not apply to versions of Cambridge English examinations that are intended “for schools”.
• Photographs will be taken either on the day of the candidates’ speaking test or on the day of their written test.
• Photographs will be taken by Hellenic American Union Center for Examinations and Certifications staff using special software provided by Cambridge English.
• For additional security, all files will be encrypted. Once the photographs have been transferred to the secure Cambridge Results Verification Service website, all local copies of the encrypted files will be deleted.
• Candidates can control who can access their results and view their photographs by providing their unique Candidate ID number and Candidate Secret Number to universities, employers and other organizations they want to be able to verify their results.
• Photographs are passport style.

Candidates who are 18 or over 18 years of age or candidates’ parents or legal guardians in case they are 17 or under 17 years of age need to read the information provided, complete and sign the Test Day Photo Consent Form, and submit it to the Hellenic American Union at least 10 days before the date of the written test administration.
