O que saber antes do exame

The test has 33 questions: 30 on democracy, history, responsibility and society, and 3 about the federal state where you live.
Each question has four answer options and one correct answer. You have 60 minutes and pass with at least 17 correct answers.
The official catalogue has 310 questions: 300 general questions and 10 for each federal state. You can practise them in the BAMF Online-Testcenter.
You register at a test centre (Prüfstelle). The BAMF lists a test fee of 25 euros, and you must bring valid photo ID.
You do not need the test if you have a German school-leaving certificate, or if illness, disability or age stops you from meeting the requirement.
Naturalisation normally also needs five years of lawful residence, German at level B1, the ability to support yourself, and a commitment to the free democratic basic order.
Since 27 June 2024, most people no longer have to give up their previous citizenship to become German.
If you passed the 'Leben in Deutschland' test at the end of an integration course with at least 17 of 33 points, that also proves your knowledge.

Perguntas frequentes

How many questions are on the German citizenship test?

There are 33 multiple-choice questions, each with four options. You have 60 minutes and need at least 17 correct answers to pass.

Are these the official BAMF questions?

No. These are original practice questions on the same topics. The official catalogue of 310 questions is free on the BAMF website and in its Online-Testcenter, so study it as well.

What if I fail the Einbürgerungstest?

If you get fewer than 17 correct answers, you can take the test again. The BAMF gives you a certificate with your result to hand to the naturalisation office.

Who does not have to take the test?

People with a German school-leaving certificate, and people who cannot meet the requirement because of illness, disability or age. Your naturalisation office decides.

Is the Einbürgerungstest the same as the 'Leben in Deutschland' test?

They use the same question catalogue. The 'Leben in Deutschland' test ends the integration course, and 17 or more points there also counts as proof of knowledge for naturalisation.

What else do I need to become a German citizen?

Normally five years of lawful residence, German at level B1, the ability to support yourself without Bürgergeld, no criminal conviction, and a commitment to the Basic Law and to Germany's historical responsibility.
