Test centres are licensed by BAMF and the list changes. We will publish our own directory only once we have confirmed a phone number, opening hours and a check date for every centre. Until then, please use BAMF’s official finder.

BAMF’s official online practice trainer — for practice only. The Einbürgerungstest itself cannot be taken online — only in person at a licensed test centre.
