JLPT 2026 – Registration Information
Applications for the July 2026 JLPT in Stockholm have now closed.
The application forms for JLPT 2026 opened on Sunday, 1 March 2026 at 13:00.
Spots filled extremely quickly in 2026—all five levels reached capacity on the first day, with some levels filling within an hour.
If you plan to take the JLPT in Stockholm in the future, make sure to apply as soon as registration opens to secure your spot.
Please note that the test fee is non-refundable; therefore, even if some applicants cancel, vacated places cannot be offered to other applicants.
If you were unable to apply in Stockholm but would still like to take the test this year, we recommend considering other test locations for the December session (e.g. Germany, Finland, or Denmark).
