Frequently asked questions

What language level is required for French naturalisation?

Naturalisation requires a French level of at least B1 on the CEFR, assessed orally (comprehension and expression). It must be proven with a recognised diploma or certificate such as the TCF IRN or DELF B1.

Does this B1 test replace the TCF or DELF?

No. This test is a free, indicative self-assessment tool. Only an official exam taken at an approved centre (TCF IRN, DELF B1) delivers a certificate recognised by the administration for your naturalisation file.

What is the difference between the TCF IRN and the DELF B1?

The TCF IRN is a positioning test whose result indicates a level, valid for two years. The DELF B1 is a diploma permanently validating the B1 level, valid for life. Both are accepted for naturalisation.

How should I interpret my result on this test?

The score places you in one of three indicative bands: below B1, B1 within reach, or B1 reached and possibly B2. It is an estimate based on 10 questions. For a reliable assessment, sit an official exam.
