Score Verification, formerly known as Online Score Verification System (OSVS), helps you to verify currently valid TOEFL scores. This includes scores from all TOEFL iBT and Essentials scores delivery models.
Using Score Verification does not require the applicant to send scores directly from ETS to the institution.
Score Verification only provides scores as of the exact date and time you perform the check. You will not receive automatic updates for score changes or cancellations.
While Score Verification may seem convenient for quick verifications and checks, using it instead of official score reporting channels can create significant risks and missed opportunities for your institution.
To know more, see the Verifying Scores with Confidence: Official Score Reporting Channels article.

Verifiable Information
Information that can be verified on a score report includes the test taker’s full name, birthdate, test date, section test scores, total score, MyBest scores, test delivery type, and test taker photo.
Errors with Score Verification
At times you can encounter some errors with score verification. Here are some quick steps you can perform:
The information entered, including the Appointment Identifier and Date of Birth, are in the correct and in the proper format. The Appointment Identifier is a unique 16-digit numeric number, and Date of Birth uses the MM/DD/YYYY format.
The MyBest Score Date must be the same as the date listed in the score report.
The TOEFL score is valid. TOEFL scores are valid for 2 years.
