UCD booking dates and test-day arrangements
The revised September booking dates
| Level | Approximate opening |
|---|---|
| N1 | 13:30 |
| N2 and N3 | 15:30 |
| N4 and N5 | 16:30 |
The planned closing date was the end of September, subject to capacity. UCD’s 28 September notice records that the remaining places filled the previous evening. No further registration window is announced.
Booking and payment
Use UCD’s JLPT examination booking page. Complete the online application and payment; the paper form in the general test guide is not used at UCD. December bookings remain provisional until the Japan Foundation accepts the submitted applications.
The public booking notice does not specify a photo-upload size. Check the instructions in the booking system and the subsequent candidate email for photo and identification requirements; a specification from another country does not establish UCD’s requirements.

The next sitting
