Test results and the certificate: when and where

For the citizenship test, HKdir says the result is available the day after the test. You are notified by email, and you can log in to the test platform's Min side or to Vitnemålsportalen to see the result.

If you pass, a physical certificate is sent by post 2–4 weeks after the test date. The social studies test publishes results through the same official channels.

• Citizenship test result: visible the day after the test.
• Certificate by post: 2–4 weeks after the test date, if you pass.
• Where to check: email notification, the test platform's Min side, or Vitnemålsportalen.

There are three official routes. The simplest is the email notification from the test system. You can also log in to Min side on the test platform you used when you registered, or open Vitnemålsportalen, which requires ID-porten login with MinID, BankID, Buypass, or Commfides.

Vitnemålsportalen is worth knowing about even after you pass: it lets you generate a signed PDF of your result and share a verification link, which is useful whenever an application asks for documentation.

The posted certificate is your proof of having taken and passed the test. Keep it with your immigration paperwork — the knowledge requirement in a citizenship application is documented by this pass.

If the certificate goes missing, contact the test centre where you took the test and ask for a copy. A signed digital version from Vitnemålsportalen covers most situations where uploading a PDF is accepted.

A fail is not a dead end: there is no limit on attempts, and you can register again once new test dates open. Before booking a retake, find out which categories cost you the pass — that is the difference between a targeted month of practice and repeating the same result.

Our guide on retakes covers the rules and a practical plan for the next attempt.
