To become a Luxembourg citizen you need, besides the Luxembourgish language test, the certificate “Vivre ensemble au Grand-Duché de Luxembourg”. You get it by following a 24-hour course or by passing the exam: 40 multiple-choice questions on a computer – 10 on fundamental rights, 20 on the institutions of the state and the communes and 10 on the history of Luxembourg and European integration. We wrote our 219 practice questions ourselves on the 2023 Constitution and official sources; each appears in English beside its French original, with a short explanation. Our mock test has the same split as the real exam.

Why this answerQuestions people ask.
- Who needs the “Vivre ensemble” certificate?
- Anyone applying for Luxembourg nationality by naturalisation, and also in several cases of option – for example the parent of a Luxembourg minor, the spouse of a Luxembourg citizen or someone who came to Luxembourg before the age of 18. It comes on top of the other conditions, including the Luxembourgish language test, which is a separate exam. The Minister of Justice can exempt someone who cannot follow the course or take the exam for health reasons, on a medical certificate.
- Course or exam: which should I choose?
- Both give the same certificate. The course is 24 hours in three modules and you must attend every hour; it takes place in Luxembourg-Hollerich, Esch-Belval and Diekirch, and online in English. The exam replaces the course: it suits someone who already knows the country well or has no time for 24 hours of classes. Both the course and the exam are free.
- How does the exam work?
- It is a computer test organised in Esch-Belval by the Service de la formation des adultes: 40 multiple-choice questions – 10 on fundamental rights, 20 on the institutions of the state and the communes and 10 on the history of Luxembourg and European integration. The law also allows binary (true or false) questions. The 2017 draft regulation planned a length of one hour; our mock test lasts 60 minutes.
- Can I take the exam in English?
- The official pages do not state the languages of the exam. The 2017 draft regulation planned the administrative languages (Luxembourgish, French and German) and English. Check with the SFA (sfa@men.lu) when you register. Our questions are in French, with the English translation beside them: it helps you understand, but it is worth practising the French wording as well.
- How many right answers do I need?
- The official pages give no pass mark. Prep sites speak of 28 right answers out of 40 (70%), and that is the pass mark of our mock test: 28 out of 40. Check the pass mark with the Service de la formation des adultes when you register.
- How do I register?
- You register for the course or the exam online on the course portal (ssl.education.lu/ve-portal); it is free. For any question: sfa@men.lu.
- Which Constitution do I need to know?
- The one in force since 1 July 2023. The revision renumbered the articles and changed the Grand Duke’s role; many older preparation materials still quote the old 1868 text. All our questions follow the current text.
- Are these the real exam questions?
- No. There is no official list of questions. We wrote these questions ourselves on the Constitution and official sources. Each one was answered blind and checked in separate rounds. The English translation and the explanations were made with AI.
