Prices

The Goethe-Institut Tashkent price list valid from 1 May 2025 (checked on 4 October 2026):^[2]

Extra: a paper copy of the certificate costs 300 000 so'm (full exam) or 100 000 so'm (single module).^[1]

B1 is a modular exam, so the price is also set per module. For example, if you pass the full B1 except for one module, an external candidate pays 800 000 so'm to retake just that module. That is why it is worth checking your readiness module by module before paying for the full exam.

Prices can change. Check the current price list on the Goethe-Institut page before you pay.

Centres outside Tashkent

The Goethe-Institut Uzbekistan page lists the following licensed centres for A1–B2 exams:^[3]

Regional centres hold exams less often: in Karshi, for example, only once every 4 months. If you need a certificate by a fixed deadline, find out the next date at the centre nearest to you in good time and, if necessary, also consider a date in Tashkent.

Samarkand is not on this list. An alternative for people in Samarkand: ÖSD announced on 30 August 2024 that an "Easy German" ÖSD exam centre had opened in Samarkand.^[6] ÖSD Zertifikat B1 is the same exam as Goethe-Zertifikat B1. The telc-usbekistan.com website also states that a telc centre operates in Tashkent, Samarkand and Fergana; we could not verify its telc licence on telc.net, so confirm this before you register.^[7] On the telc format: telc Deutsch A1 and A2.

Tips for booking day

• Prepare your account in advance. Check the day before that you can sign in to MeinGoethe and that your personal details are correct, and make sure you remember the password.
• Know the exact time for your level. A1/A2 at 09:00, B1 at 10:00 — if you sign in at another level's time, yours will not be open yet.
• Have your payment ready. You have 30 minutes when paying by card. Make sure the card has enough funds and that online payments are enabled.
• Book one place. By the rules, one person books one place.
• If there are no places left. Wait for the 1st of the next month or look at the regional centres above.
