What you need before you start
You book your exams in Mijn Inburgering, the personal page on inburgeren.nl. To log in, you need a DigiD.
DigiD is the Dutch government login. You use it with text-message verification or with the DigiD app. If you do not have one yet, apply for it on digid.nl. The activation code arrives by post, so apply in time.
- A DigiD, with text-message verification or the DigiD app
- Your phone, for the verification
- An idea of which exam part you want to book first
Booking an A2 exam or KNM, step by step
Every part is a separate booking: Lezen, Luisteren, Schrijven, Spreken and KNM. You can book one part at a time, or several parts on the same day if you want.
- Go to inburgeren.nl and log in to Mijn Inburgering with your DigiD.
- Choose the exam part you want to book.
- Choose an exam location, a date and a time.
- Confirm the booking and keep the confirmation.
Where the exams take place
The A2 exams and KNM take place at DUO exam locations in six cities: Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Rijswijk, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Zwolle. The locations are open Monday to Friday, from 9:00 to 16:30.
Addresses can change. Always check the current address on the official locations page of inburgeren.nl before your exam day.
The B1 Staatsexamen works differently
The Staatsexamen NT2 Programma I (B1) is set by CvTE and run by DUO. It takes place on fixed dates from an exam schedule, so you cannot pick any day you like.
About 12 days before your exam, DUO sends you an invitation letter. Bring that letter and a valid photo ID to every part of the exam.
Before you book: practice the format
Each part has its own format and its own time limit. Knowing what the screens and the tasks look like makes the day less stressful. DUO publishes free practice exams on inburgeren.nl, and Kora lets you practice every part with explanations in your own language.
Questions
Can I book more than one exam part on the same day?
Yes. For the A2 exams and KNM you can take several parts on one day if you want.
I do not have a DigiD. What now?
Apply for one on digid.nl. The activation code comes by post, so do this well before you want to book.
Do I choose the date for the B1 Staatsexamen myself?
No. The Staatsexamen has fixed dates in an exam schedule. DUO sends an invitation letter about 12 days before the exam.
