The exam fee

How much does the DELE cost?

The Instituto Cervantes sets the price of the DELE exam. This page does not list fee amounts: they can change, and an old figure would be worse than none. Here is where to check the fee, and what it costs to practise.

Who sets the fee

  • The Instituto Cervantes sets the prices of the exam papers (Royal Decree 1137/2002, article 6).
  • Before you register, ask your exam centre for the fee for your level in the session you choose.
  • If you take the DELE for Spanish nationality, the nationality file fee does not include the DELE or the CCSE (Royal Decree 1004/2015).
