What Danish do you need for citizenship? Prøve i Dansk 3 at B1–B2.
The Danish-language requirement for citizenship is Prøve i Dansk 3, a test set at CEFR B1–B2 across Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking. It sits under the Ministry of Immigration and Integration; residency and citizenship itself are handled by SIRI(Styrelsen for International Rekruttering og Integration). Here's an honest read on what it covers, how it is passed, and how to prepare for it fairly.
All four skills are assessed at B1–B2. This is general information about the language requirement, not advice about your citizenship application.
How Prøve i Dansk 3 is passed
Prøve i Dansk 3 passes on a combined average (≥2.0, with the oral exam weighted double) — not per-section floors. A strong overall result, with speaking carrying extra weight, matters more than clearing a fixed minimum in every single paper. Marking and pass rules can change, so always confirm current rules with SIRI.
The language requirement is only one part
Passing Prøve i Dansk 3 proves the language requirement for citizenship. It does not decide your application on its own — citizenship also depends on residency and other conditions, and those are set by SIRI. Those rules change over time, so we don't state a fixed number of years or a fixed step. The reliable move is to check your own situation directly with SIRI rather than assuming.
How to prepare — honestly
Preparation has the same shape whichever your circumstances: get comfortable with the four language skills — Reading (Læsning), Listening (Lytning), Writing (Skrivning) and Speaking (Tal) — at B1–B2. AlmiDanish lets you practise all of them and shows an honest per-skill readiness band (Clear or Borderline) against the real task criteria — an estimate to guide your prep, never an official SIRI or Ministry of Immigration and Integration result. We help you prepare fairly; we don't claim to shortcut the process.
