Danish Citizenship Test November 2026: Deadline, Fee and How to Register

Danish Citizenship Test November 2026: Deadline, Fee and How to Register

Checked 25 September 2026. From SIRI’s dates-and-deadlines page and its 25 November 2026 timetable PDF, the participant information and BEK nr. 453 af 13/05/2024. The 2027 dates were not yet published; SIRI must publish them by 1 October 2026.

The next Indfødsretsprøven — the knowledge test you must pass to apply for Danish citizenship — is on Wednesday 25 November 2026, from 13:00 to 13:45. To sit it you must be registered with a language centre by Wednesday 21 October 2026. That deadline is five weeks before the test, it is set in law, and missing it is the most common way to lose a sitting. This guide sets out every date and rule for the November sitting from SIRI’s own documents, and corrects what several English-language pages get wrong.

Where other pages get this wrong

You register directly with a language centre (sprogcenter), and the deadline is five weeks before the test — 21 October 2026 for 25 November.

Commonly published instead: “Register online at the official government portal”, “registration opens 4–6 weeks before”, “the deadline is about 2–3 weeks before the test”.

SIRI’s participant information and BEK 453/2024 §3 and §8 say registration is made with a test centre, in person, by phone, by e-mail or on the centre’s own website, and must be made no later than five weeks before the test.

SIRI, Tilmeldingsfrister og prøvedatoer; SIRI, Vidensprøverne 25. november 2026 — datoer og frister; BEK nr. 453 af 13/05/2024. In June 2026 SIRI published the paper and answer key on the test day; no publication time is promised for November.

Will my ID be accepted — and how many days are left?

Pick the document you plan to bring. The box also counts the days from today to each deadline for the 25 November 2026 sitting.

SIRI: original documents only; accepted are a Danish residence card, alien’s passport or refugee travel document, an EU/EEA/Swiss passport or approved national ID card, or another country’s passport with a Danish residence sticker. A driving licence is not accepted and SIRI cannot approve one. Other ID needs SIRI’s permission at least four weeks before the test (BEK 453/2024 §8).

How to register, step by step

  1. Choose a language centre that holds Indfødsretsprøven. SIRI’s list of centres marks the ones that hold the test with the code “IP” — 50 centres across all five regions in our count of the list. The June 2026 sitting actually ran at 46 of them, so ask your centre whether it will hold the November sitting.
  2. Register with that centre — in person, by phone or by e-mail; many centres also take online registrations. You do not register with SIRI, the ministry or a national portal.
  3. Pay the fee to the centre when you register — 946 kr. in 2026.
  4. Check your ID now, not on the day. If you will need SIRI to accept a different document, the application is due by 28 October.
  5. If you need special conditions (extra time, a helper, text-to-speech), apply to the centre by 28 October, with a statement from a doctor or other expert.
  6. Download the current learning material — the August 2026 edition, which is the one for this sitting.
  7. On the day, arrive at the time the centre gives you, with the original ID.

Missed the deadline? After 21 October you can apply to SIRI on its official form for permission to try to find a centre with a free seat. The form goes to SIRI by Digital Post, with “Danskprøver” chosen as the sub-recipient. Permission is not a seat: a centre can still refuse you for practical reasons, so treat this as a last resort rather than a plan.

The fee: 946 kr., and what it does not cover

ItemAmountNote
Test fee, 2026946 kr.Paid to the centre at registration; same fee as Medborgerskabsprøven
Test fee, 2025905 kr.Archived SIRI page
Legal base amount874 kr. (2024 level)Indexed every 1 January from 2025 (BEK §3)
Re-sit after a failA new fee each timeNo free retake
Re-sit ordered after a successful complaintNo feeBEK §48(3)
Citizenship application (separate, from 1 Jan 2026)6,270 kr. first applicationUIM; 4,180 kr. under 25 and born or raised in Denmark

SIRI dates page (2026 fee) and the archived 2025 page; BEK 453/2024 §3; UIM, Aktuelt fra Indfødsretskontoret.

Because the base amount is indexed every January, the 2027 fee will almost certainly differ from 946 kr.; do not rely on the 2026 figure for a 2027 sitting. No official page converts the fee into other currencies, and none is given here.

ID: the rule that turns people away

The test centre checks identity against a fixed list, and it wants the original document — a photocopy or a photo on your phone is refused. The accepted documents are a Danish residence card, an alien’s passport or refugee travel document issued by a Danish authority, an EU/EEA or Swiss passport or national ID card, or a passport from any other country with a Danish residence sticker in it. For most Indian, Filipino or Pakistani candidates that last point is the one to check: a passport on its own, without the sticker, does not qualify, so the residence card is usually the safer document to bring. A driving licence is never accepted, and SIRI says it cannot approve one. You will need the same ID again to collect your certificate if you pass.

Illness, lateness and leaving early

SituationRule
Ill on the dayNo sick re-sit for this test. Register for the next sitting and pay again
LateYou may enter only within the first 15 minutes, with no extra time
Want to leave earlyNot allowed before the 45 minutes are up and your booklet is collected
Phone, smartwatch, dictionaryNot allowed — the test has no permitted aids
Cheating or helping othersImmediate expulsion; SIRI can void the answer or later the certificate

SIRI dates page (“Der afholdes ikke sygeprøve”); participant information; BEK 453/2024 §§15, 17, 18, 27–28.

When the test is held, and what we know about 2027

The test is held twice a year, in the May–June and November–December terms. The recent sittings were 27 May 2025, 26 November 2025 and 3 June 2026, all timed 13:00–13:45. The executive order (BEK 453/2024 §2(2)) obliges SIRI to publish the next year’s dates and deadlines by 1 October, and SIRI’s page says the 2027 dates will appear there by 1 October 2026 at the latest. Until then any “2027 date” on another site is a guess.

Around six thousand people now sit each session — roughly twice the number in June 2022, when 1,510 passed at a 47.3% pass rate (about 3,200 sitting, our arithmetic) — so centres can fill up. Registering well before 21 October costs nothing and removes the risk of finding your nearest centre full.

Practise it, don't just read it

Once you are registered, the most useful thing you can do with eight weeks left is sit the official June 2020–June 2026 papers against the clock — 45 questions in 45 minutes — and score each in three parts: questions 1–35, 36–40 and 41–45, checking that you have at least 4 of 5 in the last block.

The ProSyllabus library for Indfødsretsprøven has all 13 official papers from June 2020 to June 2026 as timed quizzes, ten full mock exams and topic quizzes for each part of the learning material — the first quiz is free.

When is the next Danish citizenship test?

Wednesday 25 November 2026, 13:00–13:45.

What is the registration deadline for the November 2026 citizenship test?

Wednesday 21 October 2026 — five weeks before the test.

Where do I register for Indfødsretsprøven?

Directly with a language centre that holds the test, in person, by phone, by e-mail or online where the centre offers it. Not with SIRI and not through a national portal.

How much does the Danish citizenship test cost in 2026?

946 kr., paid to the centre when you register. It was 905 kr. in 2025.

Can I use my driving licence as ID?

No. A driving licence is never accepted, and SIRI cannot approve one.

Is my Indian passport valid ID for the test?

Only with a Danish residence sticker in it. Otherwise bring your Danish residence card.

What if I am ill on the test day?

There is no sick re-sit. You register for the next sitting and pay the fee again.

What if I miss the registration deadline?

You can apply to SIRI on its form for permission to try to find a centre with a free seat; a centre can still refuse.

When are the 2027 citizenship test dates?

Not yet published. SIRI must publish them by 1 October 2026; one sitting will be in May–June 2027 and one in November–December 2027.

Can I take Medborgerskabsprøven and Indfødsretsprøven on the same day?

The timetable puts them at 11:00 and 13:00 on 25 November; no source forbids sitting both, but check with your centre.

How long does the test take?

45 minutes, 13:00 to 13:45.

Can I arrive late?

Only within the first 15 minutes, and you get no extra time.

When will I get my result?

It can take up to four weeks. The centre tells you and issues the certificate if you pass.

Do I need the same ID to collect my certificate?

Yes — you collect it in person with valid photo ID; in special cases it can be sent by registered post.
