Examen civique
Take the test

On the day of the exam, arrive at your test center at the time specified on your exam notification. 
The Proctor will check your ID and exam notification. 

They will ask you to confirm your personal details (last name, first name, date of birth, and email address), take your photo, and ask you to sign on a tablet. 

This step is important :  
• This information will appear on your official results certificate. Make sure it is correct, or ask to have it updated at this point. 
• The Proctor will then show you your assigned sea and give you the Exam instructions and regulations.
