Your completed exam will be sent to the DV HQ where it is reviewed and processed. As long as the aforementioned steps are finished, your certificate will arrive quickly in the mail.

In the case you don't pass your exam, you are not required to pay for another 6 months when you try again. Don't feel discouraged - plenty of teachers have required a do-over. If you retake your exam after 6 months from the first one, you will be required to pay again.
