Sources, method and independence

Cap Nationalité turns official sources into practical preparation: a starting assessment, questions by theme, mock exams and personal interview answers.

The service adds to public documents. Always check the official rules before applying, booking an exam or responding to a prefecture's request.

• Service-Public: French citizenship by decree .
• Service-Public: French citizenship and the civics exam .
• Service-Public: handbook, syllabus and civics exam and French citizenship welcome ceremony .

We use official sources to write practice questions, short corrections and theme guides. When an answer depends on an administrative rule, we follow the public rule rather than a personal interpretation.

Cap Nationalité questions are private practice questions. They are not presented as the exact exam questions and do not guarantee the outcome of a citizenship application.

We check citizenship pages during major site updates and when an official source changes. If this site differs from a current administrative source, follow the official source.

Report an error, unclear wording or an outdated official link through the contact form. We prioritise corrections to exam rules, procedures, republican values and handbook references.

Official French administrative texts, pages and documents always take priority over this site's explanations.

Cap Nationalité does not replace legal advice, prefecture instructions or approved civics exam providers. It helps you prepare and practise. It does not submit applications or decide their outcome.
