Common questions

Is this site affiliated with the New Zealand Government?
No — NZ Citizenship Test is an independent educational resource. For official and legally binding information, always refer to govt.nz and the Department of Internal Affairs.
Are the practice questions the real citizenship test?
No. The official NZ Citizen Test has not yet launched — it is scheduled for late 2027. Our questions cover the announced syllabus areas and help you learn the material in advance.
Who will need to sit the NZ citizenship test?
Applicants aged 16 to 64 who are applying for citizenship by grant. Those under 16, aged 65 or over, or who qualify for an exemption are not required to sit it.
What is the pass mark for the New Zealand citizenship test?
You need to score 75% or higher — that is 15 out of 20 questions correct. You will have up to 6 attempts (3 initially, then 3 more after a 30-working-day wait).

The app is free to download and try. Pricing for full access is shown inside the app and managed by the App Store and Google Play — check the paywall for current prices in your region.
