Who can take the test?
The Swedish Migration Agency decided who could take the first test on 15 August 2026. It was intended for people who needed to demonstrate basic knowledge of Swedish society in their citizenship case and could not demonstrate that knowledge in another way.
Registration for the first test was possible only after receiving a letter from the Swedish Migration Agency. The next sitting requires a new registration and a new invitation letter; registration is not yet open.
Trial administration and later stages
The 15 August 2026 sitting was a trial. A total of 875 people took it and about 80% passed. The threshold was 28 out of 40 points. Results were released on 22 October and are sent automatically to the Swedish Migration Agency.
The fee is SEK 2,000, and the provision first applies to tests held in 2027. No fee is charged to a stateless person who has been granted a refugee-status declaration or a travel document by a Swedish public authority. Source: citizenship-test ordinance, section 6 and transitional provision 2.
UHR’s final report of 30 September says reading and listening cannot be introduced in October 2027 and recommends a digital test in autumn 2029. Written and spoken proficiency is assessed as possible no earlier than 2030. This is UHR’s recommendation; the government must decide the timetable.

Always check the public authority’s information
