The Instituto Cervantes has published the results of the CCSE tests (Constitutional and Sociocultural Knowledge of Spain) corresponding to the February 2026 regular session and the special session for non-literate candidates (CCSE-NA). As a reminder, passing the CCSE test is a mandatory requirement for obtaining Spanish nationality by residence.
🚨 Please note that candidates under the age of 18 and those whose legal capacity has been modified by a court decision are not required to take the CCSE test. Additionally, an exemption may be granted by the Ministry of Justice to those who meet certain criteria and can provide supporting documentation. This includes:
– Individuals holding official qualifications obtained in Spain, in Spanish, at a medium or higher level.
– Individuals with a Spanish Secondary Education diploma (ESO).
– Individuals with a certified disability or learning disorder rated at 65% or higher.
It is also possible to request a partial exemption in the case of individuals who are unable to read or write.
In this session, over 26,700 candidates sat for the regular exam, with more than 96% achieving a passing grade. In the adapted session for non-literate candidates, 1,044 individuals took part, and more than 67% were declared fit.
If you took part in this session, you can now check your results by logging in to the Instituto Cervantes platform using your credentials. The grade review request period is open from March 19 to April 19, 2026. If you wish to request a review of your results, you can do so via the online form available in your private area of the Exams Portal.
Please remember that if you have passed the test, your result will be valid for four years. If you did not pass, you will have the opportunity to retake the exam in future sessions.
