For who ?

Specially designed for people who need to prove a level of French as part of a Contract of Republican Integration, an application for long-term residence or an application to acquire French nationality.

Available since January 2023, the TCF IRN was specifically designed to meet the new provisions introduced by the French Ministry of the Interior (decree 2011-1265 of 30 December 2019) setting the required level in French at B2 (oral and written comprehension and expression tests) for applicants for French nationality, and at B1 (decree of 21 February 2018) for obtaining a residence permit. The TCF IRN can also be used to validate the A2 level of the OFII citizenship course.
