Hello Zineb,

I'd say the only people who can possibly help you with that are people who work for the Educational Testing Service. Click here for contact information on the ETS website.

Perhaps the testing center in which you took the test might also be able to give you some assistance.

hi, thank you Esl_Expert for your help.
I contacted toefl and they told me that they can not do any thing . do you think that my application will be rejected by the university?
I fell really sad to lose the opportunity to apply just because of somebody else mistake.

Hi Zineb,

Have you tried to speak to the administrators of the TOEFL test center you took the test at?

[Torsten]

Please ask him again and explain the situation.

I have already contacted amidest by phone, the administrator told me that he sent an email asking to correct this mistake and that i have to wait for my score, if the mistake still exist he will contact them again to solve the problem.!!
what can i do now? i can't wait to reseive my score then try to change my birth day .?!!!

[Torsten]

Don't worry. If they tell you they will correct your birthday they will. Maybe you can ask them to confirm this in writing. The important thing is that eventually you will get a certificate with your correct birth date.

hello Zineb

I too have the same problem. Did they change your date of birth in score card??

Hi Deepamst,
Complain to ETS and they will change it. If the date is not change by the day you are taking the test, complain to the test center monitors during the verification of candidates information.

Hi, don't worry they will change your date of birth. they do the same mistake to me and they fixed

[Zineb171]

I contacted ETS directly by e mail and they told me that i had to send copies of my ID card and passport <using fax> .after some days they changed my birth date.

According to the information of Zineb,
You have to contact ETS. They may also ask you to send some identifying documents before they change your date of birth.
