How to locate your DELF/DALF examination center?


Do you want to officially certify your French proficiency with a diploma recognized worldwide? The DELF (Diplôme d'Études en Langue Française) and the DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) are administered by the French Ministry of National Education. They are available in more than 1,200 approved examination centers across 175 countries. To find the center nearest to your home, the most reliable official method is to consult the interactive map regularly updated by France Éducation international.

Key steps for a successful registration


Once you have identified the center, do not rush. Here are the essential steps to secure your exam booking:

1. Check the official calendar: Each center is autonomous in setting its own exam dates. Be sure to check the local DELF/DALF session calendar.
2. Contact the secretariat: Registration procedures, exam fees, and deadlines vary by center. Direct communication is always recommended.
3. Anticipate your registration: High demand often leads to rapid saturation of available spots. We recommend registering at least two months before your chosen session date.
4. Prepare your documents: A valid official ID (passport or national identity card) is strictly required on the day of the exam.

If there is no center in your immediate vicinity, contact the Alliance Française or the Institut français in your country. These organizations are pillars of French language dissemination and will be able to guide you to the nearest authorized examination center. Good luck with your preparation and in obtaining your diploma!
