When is the Danish citizenship test?
The indfødsretsprøve is held twice a year, in early June and late November. Registration closes about five weeks before the test day, and that is the deadline people most often miss.

How to register
Registration goes through an approved language school or test centre, not through the ministry and not through us. You choose where in Denmark you want to sit the test, and you must be registered no later than five weeks before the test day. The fee is DKK 946, payable on registration.
There is no resit for illness. If you cannot attend you lose the fee and register for the next term, six months later. The same applies if you fail: you can try again, but not before the next sitting.
Plan your preparation
Most people need at least a month of daily practice. We use your test date to work out how much you need to cover each day, and bring back the questions you get wrong.
