Your original Test Report Form (TRF)

Everyone who completed an IELTS test receives an official IELTS Test Report Form. Your TRF is a certificate that reports your results as band scores which range from band 0 to band 9, with each band corresponding to a level of English-language proficiency. You will get an overall band score, as well as one for each part of the test - Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

Using your results 

Your original TRF will also remain valid. That means you have two separate test report forms: one with the original scores, and one with the new scores after your OSR. You can choose whether you use your original TRF or your new TRF.
