Inquiries posed during Denmark's recent naturalization exams.
In Denmark, over 6,300 individuals took the latest citizenship test this week to secure their path to Danish nationality. The test, administered by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI), assesses applicants' understanding of Danish society, culture, history, and values.
This year's test included questions on various subjects, such as the origins of Queen Mary and the 1915 constitutional amendment, which granted women the right to vote in parliamentary elections. The examination spans 45 minutes, with candidates answering 45 questions on Danish civics and history.
The Danish citizenship test takes place biannually, around May and November. Successful completion is a fundamental prerequisite for naturalization. To pass, applicants must achieve a score of 36 or higher, with at least four correct answers regarding Danish values.
Candidates can find the questions for the May 2025 test on SIRI's website. While some questions can be prepared for using study materials issued prior to the tests, the final set of questions dealing with 'Danish values' requires applicants to display their individual knowledge of the country, often referencing current political or cultural affairs.
Test results will be released within four weeks after the examination, and in the meantime, interested readers can try their hand at the test with our quiz or learn more about the application process for Danish citizenship.
