The German Naturalization Test (Einbürgerungstest) is a mandatory requirement for applicants seeking German citizenship. Under the 2026 citizenship laws, most applicants can apply after 5 years of legal residence. At Munich Indians, we provide a free, updated simulation of the official BAMF catalog specifically tailored for residents of Munich and Bavaria.
| Feature | Official Requirement (BAMF 2026) |
|---|---|
| Total Questions | 33 (selected from a pool of 310) |
| Passing Score | 17 correct answers |
| Time Limit | 60 Minutes |
| Exam Fee | €25 (payable at Munich testing centers) |
| Bavaria Focus | 30 General questions + 3 Specific to Bavaria |
Our simulator mimics the official testing conditions used at Munich testing centers like the MVHS or BRK-Kreisverband München. We randomly select questions from the four core subject areas:
How many questions are in the German citizenship test?
There are 33 questions in total. 30 are general and 3 are state-specific (e.g., Bavaria).
What is the pass mark for the Einbürgerungstest?
You must answer at least 17 out of 33 questions correctly to pass.
Where can I take the test in Munich?
Popular locations include MVHS (Einsteinstr. 28) and BRK Munich (Goethestr. 53).
Is the 3-year fast-track citizenship still available?
As of late 2025/early 2026, the standard residency requirement is 5 years, though exceptions still exist for spouses of German citizens.

The Federal Office (BAMF) provides the official 310 questions. This tool is for preparation purposes only.
