Naturalisation test in the canton of Jura

Real exam — How the test works

Interview questionnaire

Jura has no standalone written test. The knowledge check is part of the commune's naturalisation interview (a questionnaire on Switzerland and Jura, themes: geography, history, civics, general knowledge), with no published format, number of questions or pass mark, and no official catalogue (the Bernese catalogue concerns the Bernese Jura, a different canton). For now, we prepare you with the basic federal questions (taken from Neuchâtel's questionnaire) — these are not the real interview questions.
