Exam registration: we find your German exam date
You are ready for the exam but do not know where and when you can sit it? We find a suitable date at an official exam centre, in Germany, Austria or your home country, and guide you through the whole registration.
1. Advice
We clarify which exam and level your authority, university or employer accepts.
2. Date search
We look for available dates at Goethe, telc, ÖSD and TestDaF centres near you.
3. Registration
We help with the form, documents and deadlines and give you a checklist for exam day.
When should you register?
Popular exam dates are often fully booked weeks in advance, and the registration deadline is usually two to four weeks before the exam. Allow a few more weeks for the result. If you need a certificate for a visa appointment or an application deadline, start planning at least two to three months ahead.
What you need to register
- a valid passport or national ID card; you must also show this document on exam day
- the exam centre’s registration form with your details exactly as in your ID
- payment of the exam fee directly to the exam centre
- if you have special requirements (for example a visual or hearing impairment), a timely request for special arrangements
Exams we find dates for
We support registration for all common German exams. Our guides give you an overview of structure and requirements:
The providers publish their official date listings themselves: Goethe-Institut, telc, ÖSD and TestDaF.
Important: You sit the exam in person. You pay the exam fee directly to the exam centre; it is not included in our service. Certificates are issued only by the exam provider after you pass.

Frequently asked questions about exam registration
Is the exam fee included in the registration service?
No. You pay the exam fee directly to the exam centre. Our service covers advice, finding a date and help with registration.
Can I take the exam in my home country?
In most countries, yes: the Goethe-Institut, telc, ÖSD and TestDaF have exam centres worldwide. We check which centre is easiest for you to reach.
How soon can I get a date?
It depends on the location and exam. Larger cities often have several dates a month; smaller locations only a few a year.
What happens if I am ill on exam day?
The exam centre sets the rules on withdrawal and rebooking. With a medical certificate a postponement is usually possible; we explain the conditions before you register.
