medborgarskapsprov

citizenship test

A test that people applying for Swedish citizenship can take to show the knowledge of Swedish society that the rules require since 6 June 2026. The Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) develops and runs it, and Migrationsverket tells applicants when they need to register.

It is introduced in steps. The first test, on knowledge of Swedish society, was held in August 2026; a test in the Swedish language is to come later, and until then the language requirement can be shown in other ways, such as school grades or a completed SFI course.

If you can already show your knowledge in another approved way, you may not need the test.

You will meet it at
