/government/publications/dispatch-of-exam-scripts-yellow-label-service 09:28 As Parcelforce is working towards a new combined parcel network with Royal Mail, awarding organisations are working to align their IT systems with new Parcelforce systems by the end of July 2026. There will be temporary collection arrangements in place from April to July 2026, before reverting to the standard arrangements from August 2026. We updated the ‘Dispatch of exam scripts’ guidance, ‘Secure delivery of exam scripts’ guidance and ‘Dispatch log’ to reflect the latest arrangements. We also removed the separate YLS checklist and instead included important information from this in the ‘Dispatch of exam scripts’ guidance. All guidance on this page now includes the latest advice, links and contacts.
