Yes the number will change.It is the unique student ID number allocated to you.I am in the process of CES application & did not pay yet. My reference number is displaying with X000000 on top of the application. Will this number change after I make payment ? or always same as before?
Because I'm sending Academic Record Request form to my university prior to make payment with current reference number. Due to COVID 19, it may be delay from university. Once they receive my documents, I will pay to CES. Please confirm on this reference number whether it's unique or will change.
If i remember correctly,the request form should contain the unique student reference number.
Even if your university sends the documents - since they will not contain the student ID number,CES will not be in a position to process them properly.
I would suggest making the payment before initiating the process.
