Registration, results and diploma
At the Instituts français, you pick your session on the “Anmeldung für Sprachzertifikate” page (filter DELF or DALF, then the city), create an account and pay online; each session shows its deadline. The diplomas are independent: you can register for B2 without having taken A1, A2 or B1. Each paper is marked out of 25; you need 50 points out of 100, and at least 5 in each paper.
The centre sends the results within 15 working days of the last paper; the paper diploma arrives about 6 months after the exam, and you can ask for a certificate of achievement in the meantime.
