USCIS announced big changes to the civics test for naturalization applicants starting in the fall of 2025. The changes are the most significant in recent years, and they raise both the standards for knowledge of U.S. civics and the level of preparation required. Below is a breakdown of what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and when the new test goes into effect.
If you or someone you know is considering applying for citizenship, this is a key moment to plan strategically. Filing before October 20, 2025 may be a smart option for those who prefer the current version of the test. For applicants who will be subject to the new test, starting preparation early is essential.
If you have questions about which test applies to you or how best to prepare, please reach out to our office. We’re here to guide you through the process and help ensure that you’re ready for success!
