TO BE CLEAR The cantons’ question catalogues are protected. So Red Passport has its own questions on the subjects of the naturalisation tests, based on official sources such as the Federal Constitution, the Swiss Citizenship Act, the Federal Statistical Office and the cantons’ websites. Every question names its source. Laws are quoted in their official wording in German, French or Italian; there is no official English version. The app expressly recommends the cantons’ own practice tests. Some content was written with the help of AI and checked against the sources given. As of October 2026.
