VisaWho this applies to
Use this guide if you are checking Spain before choosing an exam, paying a centre, or submitting a document. It does not decide eligibility, an exemption, or certificate acceptance for an individual case.
Key decisions
- Identify the authority or institution receiving your proof.
- Confirm the exact certificate, level, exam version, and document format it accepts.
- Verify local booking, ID, fee, result, cancellation, and timing details with official sources.
Detailed explanation
Official verification required before booking either exam
This page does not yet have a reviewed Spanish citizenship-authority source that confirms the applicable residence rule, language proof, civic-knowledge proof, or exemptions for your applicant category. Do not assume that both named exams apply to your case.
Questions for the receiving authority
- Which citizenship procedure and applicant category apply?
- What residence-period calculation and supporting evidence does the authority use?
- Is language or civic-knowledge evidence required, and are exemptions or alternatives available?
- If an exam is required, which exact certificate, level, version, and document format is accepted?
Save the authority response or current procedure page before booking.
What the exam-owner links can confirm
After the authority confirms the required proof, use the Instituto Cervantes links to verify the current product, authorised registration route, dates, fees, ID rules, result process, and retake terms. Exam-owner information does not establish citizenship eligibility or the proof required for an individual application.
What to verify officially
Official verification pending. This page does not yet have the reviewed authority metadata required to publish a source fact table. Confirm the current requirement and accepted proof with the receiving authority before acting.
Common mistakes
- Booking before confirming the exact proof for the route.
- Using an old price, date, or centre listing without checking the official page.
- Assuming another applicant's outcome applies to your own case.
Next action
Confirm the current requirement with the organisation that will receive your proof.
