Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a Federal Register notice announcing the implementation of the 2025 Naturalization Civics Test. The new test will apply only to naturalization applications filed on or after Oct. 20, 2025. The reimplementation of the 2020 test reflects a broader policy shift, aligned with Executive Order 14161, which President Donald Trump issued on Jan. 20, 2025. A key modification in the 2025 test is its administration protocol. At this time, no changes have been made to the English language components of the naturalization test, which include reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension.
