Candidates for the 2026 ENEM exam must pay their registration fees by Wednesday, June 17, 2026 [1].
Failure to meet this deadline prevents students from confirming their enrollment in the exam, which serves as a primary gateway for higher education access in Brazil.
The registration fee is set at R$85 [2]. This payment is the final step required for candidates to secure their spot in the 2026 testing cycle [1].
Payments are processed by Banco do Brasil [3]. Students can complete the transaction through several channels, including traditional banks, lottery agencies known as lotéricas, or via mobile applications [3].
Organizers said that the payment must be finalized by Wednesday [1, 4]. The process ensures that only candidates who have completed the financial requirement are officially registered for the upcoming academic assessments.
Because the payment is handled by a specific financial institution, candidates are encouraged to use the approved channels to avoid processing delays. The deadline of June 17, 2026, is strict for all applicants who did not receive a fee waiver [1].

The ENEM is one of the largest standardized tests in the world and acts as the primary entry point for Brazilian universities. Missing the payment deadline effectively disqualifies a student from the current academic year's admissions cycle, highlighting the critical nature of this administrative window for millions of students.
