Test de naturalisation Genève — Test de connaissances, canton de Genève (Swiss Citizenship)

Applicants for ordinary naturalisation in the canton of Geneva must pass the knowledge test of Swiss and Genevan history, geography and institutions ("test de validation des connaissances d'histoire, de géographie et des institutions suisses et genevoises") before they lodge their file; they register for it with the naturalisation service of the OCPM.

The canton prepares candidates with its free course "Connaître la Suisse et Genève" (five modules: history, Switzerland and the cantons, political system, rights and duties, customs) and a published questionnaire with answers. Language: French at B1 spoken and A2 written (fide).
