Oral
Written by us from the cantonal laws + the federal aid «Kenntnisse der Schweiz» — Lucerne assesses orally
Written from the official content; the real exam is an oral interview. The official catalogue alongside it is the facilitated-naturalisation one. Other questions are possible at the exam.
The real exam is oral. These values are for practice only and do not reproduce the official exam.
Real exam — How the test works
The Canton of Lucerne has no unified written test. Ordinary naturalisation is assessed orally by each commune's Bürgerrechtskommission, with no fixed question set. Every mock exam mixes cantonal and federal questions. The cantonal ones were written by US, from the cantonal constitution, the citizenship act and the political rights act; for history, geography and society, where the legal texts are silent, from public sources (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA). The federal ones come from the «Kenntnisse der Schweiz», the official study aid of the facilitated naturalisation (federal SEM), not of the communal interview. These are not the questions of the real interview.
