Update as of August 12, 2022: September 2022 Examination Scheduling Update

Scheduling is underway for most September 2022 IBCLC examination candidates. IBLCE is continuing to send examination authorisation emails regularly throughout August to the remainder of the approved September candidates. 

To date, 86% of candidates who have received their authorisation have successfully scheduled their examination appointment. You can follow scheduling progress at the September 2022 IBCLC Examination Candidate Dashboard.

If you have not yet received your Examination Authorisation Email, we recommend that you check your spam or junk folder. Thank you for noting that you cannot schedule your examination appointment before receiving your Examination Authorisation Email, as the testing vendor will not be able to schedule your appointment without this information.

As you prepare for your examination, please note a few important upcoming deadlines:

Request a cancellation for a partial refund or for a full refund due to extraordinary circumstances by August 19, 2022.
Learn more about your options in 2022 here.

Submit any necessary name change requests by September 2, 2022.
Your name on file with IBLCE and the name on the two forms of ID you present on examination day must match. If you need to change your name on file with IBLCE to match your IDs, please contact the IBLCE location that serves you by the deadline.

If you have a question that is specific to your situation, our customer service team is here for you. Please reach out to the IBLCE location that serves you.
