Who must sit the tests
Last updated 2 November 2026
The test depends on what you are applying for.
The indfødsretsprøven
You must sit the indfødsretsprøven if you apply for Danish citizenship.
The medborgerskabsprøven
You must sit the medborgerskabsprøven if you apply for a permanent residence permit. The test is one of the requirements, and there are others.
In doubt?
The authorities decide whether you must sit a test in your case. We do not book tests and we do not give legal advice. Ask SIRI if you are unsure what applies to you. We help you practise once you know which test you will sit.
