1. Registration Policy
1.1. Registrations
All registrations should be done through the Online Registration System before the deadline. Registrations are valid only if fees are paid before the deadline. For late registrations an extra 25% fee will be charged.
To register you should use the Latin alphabet.
You should spell the candidate’s name as written on the I.D card / passport. These documents will be asked to be verified on the exam day.
All candidates having a double nationality are asked to state on of the two and always use that one. For technical reasons, you cannot provide two nationalities. Any incomplete registration will not be treated.

The refund request and all supporting documents related thereto must be submitted to the French Institute no later than 6 days following the date of the exams and you will receive a refund minus an administration fee 25%.
1.2. Registration of candidates with special needs
Any physical, sensory or motor disability should imperatively be reported at the time of registration online and a medical certificate describing the recommended accommodations in detail must be sent to the Examination Office. If this disability has not been reported in due time, the examination centre shall not be required to receive the candidate under the appropriate conditions.
1.3. Verification of personal information
Once candidates download their personal invitation to the exam, they must verify all personal information and report any errors. This information is used throughout the examination process. Extra fees will be applied if changes are asked after taking the exam.
2. Exam dates and time
Registration for the exams presupposes that the candidate has been informed about the dates of the exams.
The date and the time of the written and listening parts of the examination cannot be modified. The time of the speaking exam can only be changed in case of emergency.

The candidates are requested to be present at the examination centre not less than 30 minutes before the beginning of the exam.
Candidates arriving late will be refused. In case of partially taking the exam or in case of not presence, the exam is considered as “Fail” and no refund is possible.
