Svenska (Lätt svenska) – sammanfattning (English version below)
Sveriges första medborgarskapsprov (15 augusti 2026)
Den 15 augusti 2026 hålls Sveriges första medborgarskapsprov. Provet är på Stockholmsmässan i Älvsjö. Cirka 1 000 personer får skriva provet.
Så fungerar provet:
60 frågor med fyra svarsalternativ, bara ett rätt svar.
Du har 90 minuter på dig.
Provet är på svenska, men på en enklare nivå.
Du skriver på papper, med penna.
UHR (Universitets- och högskolerådet) ansvarar för provet.
Tid och plats:
Provet börjar kl. 10:00. Dörrarna öppnar kl. 8:15.
Du måste ta med svensk legitimation med personnummer (till exempel ID-kort från Skatteverket eller körkort). Utländskt pass räcker inte.
Vad du får ta med:
Bara penna, suddgummi, vatten och en liten sak för tur. Mobil och andra elektroniska saker måste vara avstängda.
Om du har ADHD, dyslexi, synnedsättning eller annan funktionsnedsättning kan du få extra hjälp — till exempel mer tid eller ett eget rum.
Anmälan och resultat:
Anmälan är stängd sedan 1 juli. Bara de som fått brev från Migrationsverket får skriva provet.
Öva med UHR:s material "Sverige i fokus" — inte med andra sidor på internet.
Resultatet kommer i oktober 2026.
Om du inte klarar provet får du skriva om det senare — du blir inte nekad medborgarskap direkt.
Nästa provtillfälle är inte bestämt än. Besked kommer troligen i höst 2026.

Everything to Know About Sweden's First Citizenship Test (15 August 2026)
For the first time, Sweden will hold a civic knowledge test for people applying for citizenship. The first round of the test is scheduled for 15 August 2026 at the Stockholmsmässan conference center in Älvsjö, south of Stockholm, with around 1,000 candidates expected to take part.
1. Test structure and format
Structure: 60 multiple-choice questions, each with four options and only one correct answer.
Time allowed: 90 minutes, considered a fairly comfortable timeframe.
Language: The test is entirely in Swedish, but at a lower-intermediate language level (matching the level required for citizenship applications).
Format: Paper-based, completed with pencil or pen.
Administration: The Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) is responsible for organizing the test, while the questions themselves were developed by the University of Gothenburg.
2. Time, location, and check-in rules
Time: 10:00 AM on 15 August 2026 (doors open at 8:15 AM; candidates must be seated before 10:00).
Location: Stockholmsmässan conference center in Älvsjö (about a 10-minute pendeltåg commuter train ride from Stockholm Central Station).
Identification (mandatory): Candidates must present valid Swedish identification showing their personal identity number (personnummer).
Accepted: ID card issued by the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket), Swedish driver's license, Swedish SIS ID card.
Not accepted: Foreign passports, international driver's licenses, or other international identification documents.
3. Permitted items and special accommodations
Permitted items: Only pens, erasers, water, and one small lucky charm are allowed. All electronic devices (phones, smartwatches, computers) must be powered off and left outside the exam room.
Special accommodations (for candidates with medical conditions or disabilities):
Candidates diagnosed with ADHD or dyslexia may request extra time (a doctor's certificate is required).
Those with poor eyesight may request a large-print exam. People with autism or physical disabilities may request a separate desk, hearing assistance devices, or a quiet exam room.
4. Preparation, results, and future test dates
Registration: Closed on 1 July. Only those who received an invitation letter from the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket) are eligible to sit this round.
Study materials: All questions are based on the official 48-page guide "Sverige i Fokus," published by UHR on its website. UHR advises caution regarding third-party study apps or websites, as they are not official materials.
Results: Expected in October 2026 (grading paper exams for this first round is taking longer than usual).
If a candidate fails: They will be rescheduled for a later test date rather than having their citizenship application rejected immediately.
Next test date: UHR and the Migration Agency are still discussing how often the test will be held. Details on the next round are expected to be announced in autumn 2026.
