The exam

What the German Einbürgerungstest involves

The Einbürgerungstest is the citizenship knowledge test you take on the path to German naturalisation. It is a multiple-choice test of how German democracy, history and society work, set by the Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge (BAMF) and drawn from a single public question catalogue. The passes feed into the wider naturalisation requirements alongside the language and residence rules.

How many questions are on the Einbürgerungstest and how long does it take?

You answer 33 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, each with four options and exactly one correct answer. Of the 33, 30 are general questions about Germany and 3 are about the specific federal state (Bundesland) you live in.

What score do you need to pass the Einbürgerungstest?

You pass by answering at least 17 of the 33 questions correctly. There are no mandatory questions and no penalty for wrong answers, so the practical strategy is simply to maximise your total correct. The nationwide pass rate is high, above 90 percent, because the questions are fixed and public.

What does the Einbürgerungstest cover?

The questions are drawn from the official catalogue across three subject areas, plus a small set specific to your federal state.

  • Leben in der Demokratie: the Grundgesetz (Basic Law), basic rights, elections, the rule of law, and the institutions of the federal state.
  • Geschichte und Verantwortung: German history, the National Socialist era and its lessons, the division of Germany and reunification.
  • Mensch und Gesellschaft: living together in Germany, religion and the state, education, family and the social-insurance system.
  • Your Bundesland: 3 of the 33 questions are specific to the federal state where you live (each state has its own 10-question set).

Are these the official Einbürgerungstest questions?

Yes. The app uses the official nationwide questions from the public BAMF catalogue (the Gesamtfragenkatalog), reproduced unchanged as the licence requires. What we add is our own plain-language explanation for every question, written in six languages, plus extra original practice questions to drill the same topics.

Does the app include the questions about my federal state?

The app covers the 300-question nationwide catalogue that supplies 30 of the 33 questions. The 3 remaining questions come from your own Bundesland and differ by state, so they are not bundled in here; you can review your state's 10 questions directly on the BAMF site. The nationwide questions are where the studying is, and where almost all of the marks are.

Who has to take the Einbürgerungstest, and what does it cost?

Most adults applying for German citizenship must pass the Einbürgerungstest (some are exempt, for example holders of a German school-leaving qualification). The test itself costs 25 euros and is booked at an approved test centre. You usually receive your certificate, the Einbürgerungstest certificate, by post after the centre marks the answer sheet.
