Medborgerskabsprøven November 2026: Deadline, Fee and How to Register

The next Medborgerskabsprøven — the Danish civic knowledge test that can count towards permanent residence — is on Wednesday 25 November 2026, from 11:00 to 11:30. You must be registered with a language centre by Wednesday 21 October 2026, five weeks before — within your centre’s opening hours, so check its own cut-off and keep the confirmation — and there is no late-registration right, only a request you can make to SIRI. This guide collects every date, fee and rule for the November sitting from SIRI’s own documents, and corrects the figures that several English-language sites still get wrong.

SIRI dates-and-deadlines page; SIRI news of 16 December 2024. Time from every official paper since 2016 (“kl. 11.00–11.30”).

1. Pick a language centre that holds the test. SIRI’s list of providers marks them with “MP”; by our count of the list about 50 centres carry the code, spread across all five regions. SIRI’s own news gave 47 designated centres in May 2024 and 46 in September 2025, so ask your centre directly whether it runs the November sitting.
2. Register directly with that centre — in person, by phone or by e-mail; many take online registrations. You do not register with SIRI, nyidanmark.dk or any national portal.
3. Pay 946 kr. to the centre when you register.
4. Check your ID against the list below; ask SIRI by 28 October if you need a different document accepted.
5. Apply for special conditions — extra time, a helper, technical aids — at the centre by 28 October, with an expert statement.
6. Download the August 2026 learning material, the edition this sitting is based on.

Missed 21 October? You can apply to SIRI on its form, by Digital Post, for permission to look for a centre with a free seat. With permission you still have to find the seat yourself, and a centre may refuse for practical reasons. Refund rules if you cancel are set by each centre, not by SIRI — one large provider, Studieskolen, refunds the fee less a 100 kr. administration charge before the deadline and half of it up to two weeks before the test — so read your centre’s terms.

For scale: the application for permanent residence itself costs 7,570 kr. in 2026 for work or study cases, or 4,970 kr. for family-reunification or asylum cases, and the expected maximum processing time is 12 months, according to nyidanmark.dk. The test fee is a small part of the cost; what a fail really costs is the wait until the next sitting — roughly half a year on the pattern of recent dates — plus a new fee.

The centre checks your identity against a fixed list and accepts only original documents: a Danish residence card, an alien’s or convention passport issued by a Danish authority, an EU/EEA or Swiss passport or approved national ID card, or any other passport with a residence sticker in it. For most readers from India, the Philippines or Pakistan the last condition is the one to check — a passport without the sticker is not on the list, so the residence card is the safer document. A driving licence has not been accepted since the 29 May 2024 sitting. If the immigration service holds your passport during a pending case, SIRI’s participant information says you must get it back or obtain a certified copy, and a certified copy needs SIRI’s permission in advance.

Medborgerskabsprøven is held twice a year, in the May–June and November–December terms. Since the first sitting on 1 December 2016 there have been 20, most of them on a Wednesday in late May, early June or late November — the most recent were 27 November 2024, 27 May 2025, 26 November 2025 and 3 June 2026. SIRI must publish the next year’s dates and deadlines by 1 October each year, and says the 2027 dates will appear by 1 October 2026. Until they do, any “2027 date” on another site is a guess.
