The A2 exam for permanent residence
The Czech Republic requires a language examination for permanent residence, raised to A2, taken at authorised schools under the National Pedagogical Institute, and for citizenship a B1 examination plus a test of Czech realities.
These are purpose-built examinations rather than general proficiency certificates, and the certificate states which requirement it was taken for. We name it, because a certificate for one does not satisfy the other.
CCE, the general certificate
Separately, the Czech Language Certificate Exam (CCE) is administered by the Institute for Language and Preparatory Studies at Charles University at CEFR levels A1 to C1, and is the general-purpose certificate recognised for academic and professional use.
A CCE certificate and a permanent residence examination certificate are different documents from different systems. We name the issuer and the examination.
Diacritics, and the -ová on the certificate
Czech uses á, č, ď, é, ě, í, ň, ó, ř, š, ť, ú, ů, ý and ž, and stripping them changes names. Certificates also record women's surnames with the feminine -ová ending unless the holder elected otherwise.
So a certificate may read Nováková where a passport reads Novak, which in a credential file reads as a mismatch. We reproduce the Czech and explain the ending.
Where the certificate goes
Czech language certificates reach US files in credential evaluations, in academic admissions where a Czech-taught degree needs explaining, and in employment files for people who studied or worked in the Czech Republic.
They also appear in Czech immigration files that later travel. We reproduce the level, the examination and the issuing institution. See our Czech page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
Frequently asked questions
Which Czech exam do I have?
The permanent residence examination at A2, the citizenship examination at B1, or the general CCE. Different systems, and the certificate says which.
Does the residence exam work for citizenship?
No. They are separate purpose-built examinations with different levels and different content.
Who issues the CCE?
The Institute for Language and Preparatory Studies at Charles University, at CEFR levels A1 to C1.
Why does the surname end in -ová?
Czech surnames take a feminine ending. It is the same family name and we explain it where a passport differs.
