Tests to obtain
Spanish nationality
According to the new Spanish regulations, obtaining Spanish nationality will require, among others, two tests designed and administered by the Instituto Cervantes.
Both tests can be taken in the network of FEDELE centres:
The test that accredits a basic knowledge of the Spanish language: Diploma de español DELE level A2 or higher (those who have the nationality of places where Spanish is an official language will be exempt from this test).
The test that accredits knowledge of the Spanish Constitution and Spanish social and cultural reality: CCSE (Conocimientos Constitucionales y Socioculturales de España).
To consult other requirements for the process of acquiring Spanish nationality, visit the website of the Spanish Ministry of Justice.
