How do I register for HSK 3.0?

Register on chinesetest.cn: choose your level, date and centre, upload a photo and pay. For the December 2026 launch, paper registration closes 16 November and internet-based closes 3 December.

Create an account on the official HSK registration site, pick HSK 3.0 and your level, then select a test centre and date. The site shows which centres offer the paper-based and internet-based formats.

Deadlines are set at 24:00 Beijing time. Late registration is usually not possible, and seats at popular centres fill first.
