DELE A2 · not the CCSE

DELE A2 for Spanish nationality

Many people applying for Spanish nationality by residence are asked for two different Instituto Cervantes exams: DELE A2 or higher, and the CCSE (Conocimientos Constitucionales y Socioculturales de España). Some applicants are exempt. The rules are set by the Ministry of Justice and the Instituto Cervantes, not by us. Check the current requirements before you rely on this page. This is not legal advice.

DELE Claro is an independent project. It is not affiliated with the Instituto Cervantes and is not endorsed by it.
