The application for the 1st JLPT in 2026 (July) has started.
The 2026 JLPT is primarily intended for non-native Japanese speakers who are mid-to-long-term residents or special permanent residents under Japan’s residence management system.
In recent years, securing test sites has become extremely difficult due to a sharp increase in the number of applicants.
Therefore, the 2026 JLPT may close applications even during the period due to test site constraints.
You can only apply for one test level. You cannot take multiple test levels.
You will not be able to take the test when you apply for the test using a different person’s photo or a photo that is unable to identify the face, or someone else’s address without permission.
Please apply early.
The deadline for application is April 7 (Tue), 17:00.
