Online reference number of English language test

My partner passed the Home B1 test administered by Pearson. He received a test score identified with a code with the form
SELT URN: PEL/XXXXXX/XXXXXX/PTEXXXXXXXXX. He can also download this report as PDF.

What does this mean? Did he receive a "certificate" or an "online reference number"?

On the British Citizenship online form he needs to chose one of the above options, but the right choice is not clear, as the words "online reference number" do not appear anywhere in his score report. Also, if selecting this option, he then needs to fill "Awarding body" and "Reference number". None of this is specified in his score report.

Anyone has fulfilled the English language requirement using Pearson's Home B1 test can share their experience?

Otherwise we'll just tick "certificate" and upload the PDF report.

Thanks

OK, I just realised that whatever option we choose, a copy of the test is still required in the supporting documents. So I'm just selecting "online reference number", putting "Pearson" as awarding body, plus the code he received, and will be uploading the PDF report to cover all bases.

But if anyone has done differently successfully, also good to hear about.

A few more decryption elements I just realised:

URN stands for Unique Reference Number and
SELT stands for S[omething] English Language Test

So, reference number starts in this case with "PEL" plus all other digits/letters, etc.

Just in case this is useful for anyone.

S stands for "Secure".
