- Pay the fee — 25 € at registration.
- Keep your booking confirmation — you receive a confirmation with the exam date and location.

What to expect
- High demand: appointments are often fully booked — book early and be flexible between VHS locations.
- Any Berlin VHS: you can use any Berlin adult education centre, not just the one in your area.
- Separate procedure: the naturalization itself is handled by the Landesamt für Einwanderung (LEA) (State Office for Immigration) — the test is only one piece of evidence in that process.
By the way: 3 of the 33 exam questions concern Berlin. You’ll find the 10 Berlin questions from the catalog in the Berlin guide.
