Who wrote this

Belong Switzerland makes one of the apps on this page, so read it knowing that. Every line about another app is what its publisher says on its own App Store page, Google Play page or website, read on 20 October 2026, with the link under Sources. Question counts are each publisher's own claim. Nobody has audited them, ours included.

What to look for before you pay

Your canton, and where its questions come fromOnly a few cantons publish a full catalogue, Zürich among them. For the others, questions in an app are written by its publisher. The best apps say which is which, canton by canton.
A test, an interview or bothSome cantons set a written test, some an interview, some both, and communes can add their own. Check what yours does before you choose how to practise.
The language you will be tested inYour canton sets the language of its test. Practise in that language, with a translation only to help you learn.
How you payPrices run from free with no ads to one-off apps at about CHF 13 and a full catalogue at CHF 15. Check whether it is a subscription or a one-off.

Which one to use

If your canton publishes its questions, start there, then pick an app that uses that catalogue. If it does not, prefer an app that tells you plainly which of its questions are its own.

If you also want to know where you stand on everything else Swiss citizenship asks of you, Belong Switzerland is the one built for that: the ten years, the C permit, the language levels and time abroad, in the same app as the practice. What you enter stays on your phone.

Questions people ask

Is there a national Swiss citizenship test?

No. Federal law asks for basic knowledge of Swiss geography, history, politics and society, and each canton decides how to check it.

Is there an official app?

No. Some cantons, Zürich among them, publish their own practice test and question list for free. Every app on this page is independent.

There are 1,011 practice questions in the app.

1,011 questions on geography, history, politics and society, drilled area by area in the order the Citizenship Ordinance sets them, with a mistakes deck and spaced repetition. There is no mock test, because there is no national paper to copy.

Written by Belong Switzerland around the four areas of BüV article 2. They are not any canton’s official questions, and the questions on your canton and your commune are not ours to write.
