CCSE Test
Inhispania School, located in the center of Madrid, is one of the examination centers chosen by the Instituto Cervantes to administer the CCSE Test (Constitutional and Sociocultural Knowledge of Spain).
This exam is one of the requirements necessary to obtain Spanish nationality. It consists of 25 questions about the Spanish Constitution and about social, historical, and cultural aspects of Spain; its purpose is to assess the candidate’s knowledge of the country and their degree of integration into Spanish society.
The CCSE test lasts 45 minutes and is held at Inhispania’s facilities on the last Thursday of each month (except in August and December). Registration is open to anyone who needs this document to become officially Spanish.
Who is this test intended for?
The CCSE Test is intended for all individuals who wish to obtain Spanish nationality and are over 18 years old. In addition, the Instituto Cervantes facilitates access to the exam for those who have any of the following impediments: having a physical disability, being unable to read or write, having learning difficulties, or living in a place that does not allow free access to examination centers (for example, being a cloistered religious person or being admitted to a long-term healthcare facility).
What questions can I be asked on the CCSE Exam?
The CCSE exam for obtaining Spanish nationality includes five different tasks:
- In the first and second tasks, the candidate must select the correct answer about laws, government, and mechanisms of citizen participation (the rights and duties associated with Spanish nationality).
- In the third task, you must answer two questions about the geography and the territorial and political organization of Spain, with the help of a map.
