The Release of September 2025 Examination Results Has Begun & the IBCLC Registry is Temporarily Unavailable

More than 3,000 candidates from 79 countries sat the September 2025 IBCLC examination. We began releasing examination results to candidates in their online credential management account today.

Releasing the examination results is an intensive process; therefore, it will take approximately 72 hours to release all examination results. The examination results must be released in segments. This means you may see your results before or after someone else you know. 

While results are being released, the online Public Registry will be temporarily unavailable. We anticipate that the Registry will be unavailable until approximately December 17, 2025. IBCLCs can execute the Certification Verification Form while the online registry is unavailable.

Once all results have been released, we will send an email to candidates with instructions to access their examination results and their score report online. Please know that your official result will be in your online account.

New IBCLCs and recertifying IBCLCs from the September 2025 examination will have options to verify their certification. Please review your examination results email to learn more. That email will also include information about receiving digital certificates. Please visit the IBCLC Commission website for more information on digital certificates.

Please note: Some parts of the online credential management system must be disabled to release examination results. This will affect all IBCLCs, including those who did not sit the September 2025 IBCLC examination.

For all IBCLCs: You will temporarily be unable to check your credential status in the online credential management system or in the online Public Registry. IBCLCs can execute the Certification Verification Form while the online registry is unavailable. 

Please contact your regional location if you need assistance checking your credential or recertification by CERPs application status.

Access to all parts of the online credential management system will be restored when we have completed releasing examination results. We will share here and on social media when everything is once again available.
