MEC Publishes Enem 2026 Edital With Automatic Pre-Registration and Expanded Test Network

The rules set a May registration window and new access measures that aim to make the exam easier to reach for public school students and adults seeking certification.

Overview

  • The MEC and Inep published the Enem 2026 edital on Friday, May 22, which sets registrations from May 25 to June 5 and schedules the two exam days for November 8 and 15.
  • Students regularly enrolled in the 3rd year of public high schools will be automatically pre-registered using data sent by school systems, but they must confirm participation, choose a test municipality and foreign language, and declare accessibility needs on the Participant page.
  • Inep plans to increase the number of application sites to about 10,000 schools so roughly 80% of public-school completers can take the test at their own school, and it says it will study transport support when students must travel to another municipality.
  • The registration fee remains R$85 for those not exempt, payable until June 10, while defined exemption groups must still complete the online registration to be allowed to sit the exam.
  • The edital updates accessibility rules by adding conditions such as fibromyalgia and TDAH, allows emotional support dogs and companion adults in reserved rooms, restores Enem use for secondary‑school certification for adults 18 and over, and fixes administrative deadlines for name‑social and specialized‑assistance requests and results in June and July.
