CCSE price
The fee is €85, the same in every country, for one registration. You pay online by card or prepaid Correos card in your private space, and a NIE is compulsory. One registration gives up to two attempts: if the first result is No apto, or you do not show up, you can sit once more at the same centre within 6 months of the first exam date. You can only ask for it after the first session's results are published.
Results and certificate
Results arrive about 20 days after the exam, by e-mail and in your private space. The certificate only says Apto, No apto or No presentado. You can request a review within one natural month of publication. The certificate is valid for 4 years from the date the grading record is approved, so plan your nationality application inside that period.
CCSE-NA dates
Candidates who cannot read or write sit the CCSE-NA, on the last Tuesday of each month except August and December, only in Spain. It needs the Ministry of Justice authorisation, requested before you apply for nationality.
