TOEFL paper report receive date

Due to the Visa application, I called the ETS office to inquiry about when I could get the TOEFL paper report for the test at 18th Jan.

As the administrator told to me, it will send from ETS three days later after the score is available online, and will take 4-6 weeks after that to be sent to the place you live.

In general, the date will be organized as below to receive the paper report.

• 
  
• Score available online : 29th Jan.

• Sent from ETS : 1st Feb.
