The Examen Civique

Since January 1, 2026, the examen civique has been mandatory for any first-time application for:
• A multi-year residence permit
• A resident card
• French naturalization

The examen civique is a multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ) taken on a computer.

It consists of 40 questions covering:
• The principles and values of the Republic
• The rights and obligations applicable in France
• The functioning of institutions
• Key historical, cultural, and geographical references
• Everyday life situations in French society

To pass the exam, you must obtain at least 32 correct answers out of 40.
The results will be available in your personal account.
