Registration for the citizenship test
You cannot book the citizenship test on your own. The Swedish Migration Agency decides who is to take the test, and only those who have received a referral letter (anvisningsbrev) can register with UHR. Here we go through the steps as UHR describes them.

Is the test coming up? Be prepared
The app trains you with practice questions on the same topics as the study material Sverige i fokus covers. That way you can prepare while you wait for a decision from the Swedish Migration Agency.
Register for early accessThe referral letter from the Swedish Migration Agency
If you cannot show your knowledge of Swedish society in any other way, the Swedish Migration Agency can refer you to the test. You then receive a referral letter. UHR writes that it is only possible to register if you have received such a letter. If you have questions about the letter, you should contact the Swedish Migration Agency, not UHR.
Create an account and register
You create a personal account with UHR using BankID or Freja eID. If you have no electronic ID, you can create an account with your personal identity number and the personal code in the referral letter. After registering, you get a confirmation on the web and find your registration under My registrations.
It is not possible to register afterwards once registration has closed, and you need to make a new registration for each test occasion.
Adjustments
You can get an adjustment of the test, for example extended test time or enlarged text, or an adjustment of the physical test environment, for example a height-adjustable desk, a hearing loop or a smaller room. In most cases you need to show the need with a certificate. Because the number of places is limited, not all needs can always be met. Once the last day for supplementary information has passed, it is not possible to submit a certificate afterwards, so prepare the certificate in good time.
Summons and test day
About a week before the test day, you receive a summons on your registration account. Print it and bring it. You must show valid Swedish identification with a personal identity number. Read more in the article on the test day.
The result
The result is shown on your account and is reported automatically to the Swedish Migration Agency for its further handling. UHR writes that if you took the test on 15 August 2026, you can see your result when you log in to the account you created when you registered.
Frequently asked questions
Can I register for the citizenship test myself?
No. You can only register if you have received a referral letter from the Swedish Migration Agency.
What do I do if registration is closed?
Then it is not possible to register. UHR writes that information about when registration opens for the next test occasion will come. Follow uhr.se.
Can I cancel if I do not need to take the test?
UHR writes that you can send a message through its contact form if you have realised that you meet the requirements in other ways and have already registered.
