How this site can help
If you want to know exactly how the test works, what it costs, and how long a sensible preparation period takes, check the guide to how the test works and the 2 to 4 week preparation plan. If you also want to know which requirements apply for naturalization since the 2024 reform, see the overview of citizenship requirements. A glossary and a timeline of German history help with the terms and years that come up again and again in the catalog.
