To whom is it addressed?

The DELE Escolares exams are aimed at Spanish young students between 11 and 17 years old (people over 19 must register for general exams), regardless of their nationality or origin.

Parents, guardians, or legal representatives must register minors or persons without legal capacity to act.

    How to register?

    Enrollment in the DELE exams for young students is done in each of the examination centers that manage these tests.

    The payment of registration fees can be made by means of payment determined by the corresponding examination center.

    To register in these tests, it is necessary to provide, in addition to other mandatory personal data, a personal e-mail address. Said e-mail, whose correct functioning is the responsibility of the candidate, will serve to communicate with Instituto Cervantes for exam sessions, grades, and other processes related to the DELE exam.

    Parents, guardians, or legal representatives must register minors or persons without legal capacity to act, bearing in mind that they must provide a different e-mail address for each of the candidates who register.

    It is the obligation of the candidate, whatever the means of registration, to check the correctness of all the data that appears in the receipt received as proof of their registration, both in relation to their personal data and in what concerns the level, date and place of the session for the DELE diploma chosen.

      With the payment of registration, the candidate:

        E

        declares to fulfill the administrative and economic requirements required to obtain the DELE Spanish diploma; and

          E

          undertakes to attend the examination provided with those documents that certify compliance with these conditions, which are:

            • the receipt of your registration;
            • your passport or official identity document with a photograph, for its correct identification;
            • and the examination session of the center in which you have registered.

          Registration procedure at the examination center (DELE Escolares)

          To formalize the registration in the DELE examination centers recognized by the Instituto Cervantes, the candidate must provide the required documentation:

          E

          Original and photocopy of your passport or official identity document with photography in which the following information is recorded: name and surname, nationality and place and date of birth. The data declared by the candidate in the application form for registration must correspond to those on the identification document.

          E

          Documentation accrediting the payment of registration fees. The payment of registration fees can be made by means of payment determined by the corresponding examination center (always specifying the concept ‘DELE registration’ together with the date of the exam and the academic level of the desired diploma).

          If the registration is not made in the DELE examination center in person, in order to be registered, the candidate must submit the DELE 2019 registration form completed along with the payment. It is recalled that this form is not the registration document, but only the request thereof and that the guarantee of having registered is granted by the registration slip.
