Language and Integration Exam
Most applicants must pass the civic integration exam (inburgeringsexamen) before applying. This exam assesses your ability to read, write, speak and understand Dutch at A2 level and your knowledge of Dutch society. It consists of several modules, including language tests and the KNM (Knowledge of Dutch Society) module.
Some applicants who have completed a civic integration programme or hold certain diplomas are exempt. You must provide your integration diploma or certificate when you apply for naturalisation.
