Been through this. It is a pain, and your experience sounds extremely familiar (sigh…). The paper/mail registration is a pain until they hit 13. You will receive an email with a ticket that you need to print out. If you do not get an email ticket about a week before the test date - call them again, have them look at your child’s file, and confirm that an email ticket is coming forthwith. Do the same two days before the test, and the day before, if you need to (hopefully this will not be necessary). You will, as a parent, have to call (use their line that’s reserved for gifted/talented; the wait is shorter).

When you get the ticket, make sure that the name is spelled correctly. Your kid will still need some sort of ID that matches what they have registered your kid as. It is possible that they will not register your kid’s name correctly. Ensure that the name on the ticket is correct. If not, get it fixed before printing. Have a few forms of ID with your kid, just in case (passport, ID card, schoool ID card with photo on it). While your kid will not require a photo of themselves on the ticket they present - a photo ID presented when showing your ticket makes things smoother. Hope this helps!
