IGCSE Late Registration and Late Fees

If you miss the standard registration deadline, you may still be able to enter during the late period—but late fees (often 25–50% extra) usually apply.

Why Late Entry Exists

• Boards allow a short extra window so centres can add last-minute entries (e.g. retakes, late decisions).
• The fee increase discourages routine late entry and covers extra admin.

Typical Late Fee Level

• Cambridge / Edexcel: Often 25–50% on top of the normal component fee (varies by board and session).
• Your centre (e.g. British Council) will publish exact late fees for each session.

When Late Entry Closes

• There is a final deadline after which no entries are accepted for that session.
• After that, you must wait for the next session (e.g. next May/June or October/November).

Practical Advice

• Register by the standard deadline when possible to avoid extra cost and stress.
• If you must register late, contact your centre immediately and pay the late fee by their deadline.
