The big day has finally arrived! Are you ready for your Citizenship test?

Seeking Croatian citizenship requires completing the Croatian citizenship test, a mandatory step for specific applicants. The test consists of two parts, evaluating one's command of the Croatian language and comprehension of Croatian culture and history.

The Citizenship Test is required of those seeking Citizenship based on Residence.  There is also a list of people exempt from taking this test, such as Exceptions include those applying based on descent, individuals aged 60 or older, children under 18, those with a Croatian language certificate, spouses or civil partners of Croatian citizens meeting residence requirements, those applying for special interest or re-admission, and members of the Croatian people.


What is in the Citizenship Test?

The Croatian citizenship examination comprises two segments:

a. Knowledge of the Croatian language and the Latin script:

Proficiency in language can be verified through different documents, including certificates issued by educational institutions, the successful completion of primary, secondary, or higher education in Croatia, or evidence of B1 proficiency. Certain groups, such as refugees and individuals with special status, have the opportunity to demonstrate their language proficiency as part of the application process.

b.Knowledge of Croatian culture and social structure

The cultural and social knowledge test comprises 15 questions on government, history, culture, customs, art, literature, sports, economy, tourism, and the geographical location of Croatia. Applicants must answer at least 10 questions correctly out of 15 within a 60-minute timeframe.


Both tests are administered by officers at MUP (administrative police station), the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or diplomatic missions/consular offices abroad. Applicants are required to get at least 10 out of 15 answers correct, and will receive their results on the spot.
