Franova - Examen Civique 2026

Franova is the most comprehensive preparation course to help you succeed in your journey to citizenship and residency in France.

Since January 1, 2026, the civic exam has been mandatory for the multi-year residence permit (CSP), the resident card (CR), and naturalization. And to become French, a second challenge awaits you: the naturalization interview. Franova prepares you for both.

PASSE THE CIVIC EXAM
40 questions, 45 minutes, target score of 80%. Practice with hundreds of multiple-choice questions covering the 5 themes of the official 2026 curriculum, then take mock exams under realistic conditions to arrive confident on the big day.

PASSE THE NATURALIZATION INTERVIEW
The exam alone is not enough to become French: the assimilation interview at the prefecture is crucial. Franova compiles the most frequently asked questions, common pitfalls to avoid, and sample answers to help you present yourself with confidence.

3 PATHWAYS TAILORED TO YOUR LEVEL
- CSP (level A2): multi-year residence permit
- CR (level B1): resident card
- NAT (level B2): French naturalization + interview

No need to guess where to start: an initial assessment determines your level and personalizes your preparation.
