Civic integration examination form

Information about the embassy or consulate-general

The registration form is also available in Dutch:

Introduction

You want to register yourself, your partner, or another person for the civic integration examination. Your registration form will be processed faster if you send it – with the referee’s email address – online via this website. Registration forms sent by post take much longer to process. So please send the form online if possible.

Phone 1400 if you want a registration form to be sent to your home address.

You can register for the civic integration examination abroad in 4 simple steps

Enter the name of the embassy or consulate-general where the candidate will take the examination. Candidates must take the examination in their country of origin or permanent residence. If there is no Dutch mission in your country of origin or permanent residence where you can sit the examination, please contact the nearest embassy or consulate-general that holds it.
