Do DELF B2 diplomas expire?

DELF B2 diplomas do not expire.

DELF B2 Results and Your Diploma

Format, the 50/100 pass mark, the 5/25 floor, and each test are on the DELF B2 page.

A DELF diploma is the document France Éducation international awards. TCF and TEF issue their own attestations. If the dossier asks for French B2, confirm whether it names DELF/DALF.

How FEI states the pass rule

You need 50/100 overall and at least 5/25 on each of the four tests; below 5/25 on any paper is eliminatory. Falling below 50/100 overall also fails the session. There is no “keep listening, resit speaking later” within DELF — see retake for what that means for your next registration.

Diploma validity for life

France Éducation international lists DELF/DALF diplomas as issued by the Ministry of National Education without an end date — they remain valid. Store PDFs or scans your centre provides and keep the original secure if you received paper.

What your centre still controls

Centres communicate provisional outcomes, collect diplomas when they arrive from the network, and answer “when can I pick this up?” That schedule varies. Ask at registration so you are not guessing from a second-hand forum post.

If the session is a fail

You register again for the full DELF B2 at a centre with an open session. Start from dates and registration, then rebuild the weak paper using the structure guide before you pay twice.

Rebuild with the right clocks

Use the DELF B2 mock walkthrough to see how fast 30 minutes of listening, 60 minutes of reading, 60 minutes of writing, and the oral block actually feel before you pay for another full session.

FAQ

Who tells me when results and the diploma are ready?

Your exam centre — France Éducation international awards the diploma, but attestation timing and handover or post are local. Ask at registration instead of assuming a fixed week count from another country.

If I fail one DELF B2 paper, do I keep the others?

Pass with 50/100 overall and at least 5/25 in each of the four tests; below 5/25 in any test is eliminatory. There is no partial carry-over to a later session — register again for the full B2.
