Registering for the Swedish Citizenship Test 2026: How to Sign Up

What is medborgarskapsprovet?

Medborgarskapsprovet is the civics knowledge test required for Swedish citizenship under the tightened rules that took effect on 6 June 2026. It is administered by UHR (the Swedish Council for Higher Education) and based on the official study material Sverige i fokus. For a comprehensive guide, read our pillar page on medborgarskapsprovet.

This article focuses on what UHR has confirmed about registration for the pilot test in August 2026 — and what hasn't been finalised yet.

When does registration for the citizenship test open?

According to UHR, registration for the pilot test on 15 August 2026 opens "in early June". The exact date will be published by UHR — always confirm at uhr.se/medborgarskapsprovet/anmalan.

• First test date: 15 August 2026, in Stockholm.
• Registration opens: Early June 2026 (exact date to be published by UHR).
• Number of future test dates: Not officially confirmed by UHR at the time of writing.

Since the registration window is time-limited, set a calendar reminder and have your details ready as soon as registration opens.

Who can register?

UHR is clear: "You can only register if you have received a letter from Migrationsverket." In other words, it is Migrationsverket that first decides who will be invited to the pilot test in August 2026. Invitations go to applicants whose citizenship case is close to a decision.

If you haven't received a letter, you cannot register for the August test. For questions about your own citizenship application, contact Migrationsverket; for questions about the test itself, contact UHR.

What does it cost to register?

UHR has confirmed that the pilot test in August 2026 is free of charge for invited participants. What future test rounds will cost has not yet been officially decided — UHR has been tasked with analysing fees, among other things, and will publish details once a decision is made.

Note that UHR never asks for payment by SMS, unknown email links, or third-party services. All registration takes place through UHR's official page — be wary of scam attempts that exploit interest in medborgarskapsprovet.

What do you need to know before you register?

• The letter from Migrationsverket — without it, you cannot register for the pilot test.
• A current email address and phone number — so UHR can reach you.
• A current address with Skatteverket — invitations may be sent both digitally and by post.
• Any need for accommodations — if you require special accommodations for the test, this should be reported as early as possible according to UHR's instructions.

The details of the registration form itself (login method, fields to fill in) will be published by UHR when registration opens in June 2026.

What happens after you register?

What happens after registration closes — when the invitation is sent out, what ID is required, and how the result is communicated to Migrationsverket — are details UHR will publish ahead of the pilot test. We'll update this page when the information is available.

What we do know for certain: Migrationsverket cannot grant citizenship until the knowledge requirement is met, either through a passed test or through a statutory exemption. Read more at migrationsverket.se.
