USCIS Releases Civics Questions for Citizenship Applicants

The United States government, through the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), has published a comprehensive list of 100 civics questions and answers for foreign nationals pursuing American citizenship via the naturalization process. This guide serves as a resource for applicants, detailing essential topics including the Constitution, the American government system, citizens' rights and responsibilities, American history, and national symbols.

The civics test is an oral examination where applicants are asked up to 10 questions from the list, needing to answer at least 6 correctly to pass. USCIS advises applicants to be aware that answers may change with new public officials and encourages them to use the most current information available.

The publication includes foundational questions about American democracy, such as the supreme law of the land, the Bill of Rights, and the principles of self-government.
