The questions that depend on where you live

Every applicant takes the same national test. Only a few answers depend on your state or district: the governor, your U.S. senators, your U.S. representative and the capital. For Michigan the capital is Lansing.

Officeholders change. Check the current names on the USCIS test updates page, on senate.gov and on usa.gov before your interview.

The 2025 civics test in brief

The oral test uses a list of 128 questions: the officer asks up to 20 and you must answer 12 correctly. It applies to Form N-400 filed on or after October 20, 2025. Applicants who are 65 or older with 20+ years as permanent residents may study only 20 marked questions.

Study in your language

The real test is oral and in English. English lets you read the explanations in the language you understand best while you learn the English answers.
