New Civics Test Mandatory for Green Card Holders Starting in 2025

 

 

Green card holders applying for US citizenship will now have to take the newly designed 2025 Civics Test. The new measure by US authorities is to ensure that they fully adhere to American values and meet the eligibility criteria. This test will apply to foreigners who submit Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization) after October 20, 2025.

The 2025 Civics Test, conducted by USCIS, will ask 20 questions from a list of 128 questions. If you answer 12 of them correctly, you will pass the test. If you answer nine of the 20 questions incorrectly, you will fail the test. If you answer 12 questions correctly or 9 questions incorrectly, the test will end without asking any further questions. Green card holders, also known as legal permanent residents, can apply for US citizenship through naturalization. Naturalization is a special process that allows people from other countries to become part of American society. It grants people from other countries the same important rights and responsibilities that every citizen has.
