Wondering how to check your JLPT 2025 results? For Japanese language students who took the JLPT, otsukare sama deshita! We’re proud that you took it and did your best. The JLPT results are usually available online around two months after the test day. If you want to check your JLPT results online, the test result announcement will be viewable for only a certain duration on the JEES website, inside your MyJLPT portal. With that, we thought we would give you a step-by-step guide on how to check your results for the JLPT.
Keep in mind that during the day, the JLPT results are live online; there may be a delay in connection with the announcement date. You might even encounter a website crash, so it is best to open your results a few hours after the official announcement is made.
For more information and updates, kindly refer to the official JLPT website.

How to Check Your JLPT Results Online on MYJLPT
While you can view your results online immediately, your physical JLPT result certificate will be delivered on a later date for international residents in Japan. You can also issue a transcript, which will be immediately sent after the resulting certificate is received. Students who are in a hurry to get the transcript may apply for an express delivery request.
With that in mind, here is a detailed step-by-step guide to check the results, with screenshots.
1. Head to the official website for MyJLPT
Depending on where you take the JLPT, you must select the appropriate country to be directed to the correct webpage. Putting your MyJLPT ID on the wrong landing page may not be possible. For example, if you are taking the JLPT in Korea, make sure your MyJLPT page domain is set to the correct country!
2. Click on the Login button on the MyJLPT Page.
Head to this page to go to the official page for MyJLPT. For test-takers, you should be able to log in to your MyJLPT account, which was created when you applied for the JLPT.
3. Log in with your JLPT ID
Click this link to be directed to the login page.
To retrieve your login credentials, you can refer to your application.
Your MyJLPT ID is auto-generated and most likely cannot be changed, so be sure to store it somewhere safe. This same MyJLPT ID will be used for any future JLPT tests you take, so don’t lose it!
If you forget your MyJLPT ID, you can retrieve it. Simply click the link that says “To remind your MyJLPT ID, click here”.
This will take you to a new page where you’ll need to:
- Select the type of application. If you are applying alone, choose 個人 (kojin), meaning “individual.”
- Enter the email address you used when registering.
- Input your date of birth (which must match the one on your ID).
After that, you will get an email from myjlpt@jees.or.jp to remind you of your MyJLPT ID. You can also reset your password using the same method.
Note: The MyJLPT portal can only be open in one browser tab at a time. If you duplicate the page or open it in multiple tabs, you may encounter an error.
4. Click on “Test Result and Certificate Issuance” to view your results
Your results for the JLPT will be immediately available on the Test Result and Certificate Issuance page. Looking at the results is pretty straightforward. A table will display your test level(s), registration number, result, and total score. If you have taken other JLPTs in the past using the same MyJLPT ID and personal information, that record will also be displayed on the same page.
If you passed a test, the result will show “Passed”. Be careful not to get confused—especially if you have taken the same level more than once. For example, if you previously attempted JLPT N3 and failed, but passed it this time, you may see two N3 results: one marked “Failed” and another marked “Passed”.
5. View the full breakdown of your score
The score listed on the page is your total score of all test sections. If you want a full breakdown, click the “For details” link.
Once you click that, you will be directed to a page that shows you a clear breakdown of each part of the JLPT result, as well as more detailed information about your registration.
- Your basic information, such as your name, date of birth, and test area (where you took your JLPT) will be indicated. Your passport-style photo, which is used to verify your identity during the test day, will also be displayed.
- You will also find your registration number, which is a unique 10-digit number given when you registered for the exam. It’s used to identify your application and results.
- Your result and certification number. Your certification number is issued only if you pass. This number appears on your official certificate and can be used for verification.
- Besides the scores by test section, you will also get grades, which range from A (correct responses are 67% or above), B (correct response is between 34 – 66%), and C (anything below that). This will be shown regardless of whether you passed or failed the test.
Things to Note About Viewing Your JLPT Results
If your test results are not displayed on the ‘Test Result and Certificate Issuance’ screen, don’t panic. Note that they only display results for tests that are applied using your MyJLPT ID. Tests taken before 2012, overseas, or applied by mail will not display their results.
If the test was applied with another MyJLPT ID or the group representative used to block registration, results will also not be displayed.
You can change the address you registered for the JLPT application within the specified period after the test. The period when changes can be made will be announced on the MyJLPT site.
If you move after this period, you must submit a notification of change of address to the post office.
Changes can be made on the ‘Check and Modify applicants’ information’ page. If you require a change after the time period ends, you must mail your updated information to the post office.
What is The Score Required to Pass the JLPT?
For JLPT N1 to N5, one can get scores between 0 and 180 points. Depending on your level, the passing scores also change accordingly.
| JLPT Level | Passing marks (Total) |
| N5 | 80 out of 180 |
| N4 | 90 points out of 180 |
| N3 | 95 points out of 180 |
| N2 | 90 points out of 180 |
| N1 | 100 points out of 180 |
There are also score requirements for individual sections of the test.
For N5 and N4, the sectional passing mark for Listening is 19 points out of 60 points. The passing mark for Language Knowledge (Vocabulary/Grammar) and Reading is 38 points out of 120 points.
For N3, N2, and N1, the sectional passing mark for Language Knowledge (Vocabulary/Grammar), Reading, and Listening is 19 out of 60 points for every section.
Should examinees not meet the required passing mark for any of the sections, they will be deemed to have failed the entire exam. They will also be unable to pass if they miss a test section. No score result will show for the completed test sections on the score report. For more information about the passing scores, click here.
