π’ Major Update: USCIS Announces New Changes to the Naturalization Civics Test for 2025
On September 17, 2025, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) unveiled the first set of changes to the naturalization civics test, marking the beginning of a multi-step overhaul aimed at strengthening the integrity of the American citizenship process.
π§ Whatβs Changing?
The updated 2025 civics test now includes stricter standards to assess an applicant’s understanding of U.S. history and government, a critical part of meeting the legal requirements for naturalization. USCIS is also placing greater emphasis on English proficiency, good moral character, and genuine contributions to American society.
π Key Highlights:
Tougher vetting and eligibility reviews
Stricter scrutiny of disability exceptions
Renewed focus on English reading, writing, and speaking skills
Disqualifications for unlawful voting or false citizenship claims
Resumption of neighborhood investigations to verify eligibility
