VisaWho this applies to
Use this guide if you are checking Netherlands before choosing an exam, paying a centre, or submitting a document. It does not decide eligibility, an exemption, or certificate acceptance for an individual case.
Key decisions
- Identify the authority or institution receiving your proof.
- Confirm the exact certificate, level, exam version, and document format it accepts.
- Verify local booking, ID, fee, result, cancellation, and timing details with official sources.
Detailed explanation
What it covers
IND controls the civic-integration conditions for the named residence and naturalisation procedures. DUO controls exam execution, including the components, applicable level or pathway, registration and results shown for the person’s case.
Select the procedure and cohort
The reviewed sources do not support one A2/B1 rule, one residence period, or one deadline for every reader. Confirm the exact residence or naturalisation route and the integration-law cohort before relying on an exam level.
What to verify
- The applicable route, cohort, level, exemption and deadline with IND or DUO.
- The current exam components and registration details in Mijn Inburgering or on DUO’s official pages.
What to verify officially
Official verification pending. This page does not yet have the reviewed authority metadata required to publish a source fact table. Confirm the current requirement and accepted proof with the receiving authority before acting.
Common mistakes
- Booking before confirming the exact proof for the route.
- Using an old price, date, or centre listing without checking the official page.
- Assuming another applicant's outcome applies to your own case.
Next action
Confirm the current requirement with the organisation that will receive your proof.
