Booking the Einbürgerungstest: start early ⏰
The Einbürgerungstest costs €25. BAMF says to ask your local Einbürgerungsbehörde which test centres are near you and to register there. In practice these are often Volkshochschulen (VHS). What learners and local guides report: · Waiting times of one to four months for a test date, especially since the new citizenship law increased demand. · Big-city VHS slots fill quickly. Some VHS book online (Hamburg, Munich), others by phone or in person. · One guide advises booking several months ahead. What to bring (varies by centre): · Your registration confirmation · Passport or ID card, and often your residence permit · A pen Watch the small print: · The Hamburg VHS says free cancellation is only possible before the deadline in your confirmation. If you are ill, you need to send a written notice and a medical certificate within five working days to rebook without paying again. · Use your correct postal address. The result comes by post. Plan backwards: if you want to apply for naturalisation, book the test first, then study while you wait.
