If you are considering applying for Spanish nationality by residency in 2025, there are two key requirements you must meet: proving your knowledge of the Spanish language and your understanding of Spain’s cultural and social values. To do this, you will need to pass two exams organized by the Instituto Cervantes.
What exams do you need to take?
The two tests you must pass are:
- DELE: This exam assesses your level of Spanish, and you must achieve at least an A2 level.
- CCSE: This test evaluates your knowledge of the Constitution and the sociocultural realities of Spain.
Both exams are held in person at authorized centers worldwide.
The Instituto Cervantes has already published the exam schedules for 2025. If you are preparing for the DELE or CCSE exams, be sure to check the registration deadlines and exam dates.
