Which answers change by state?

On the 2025 civics test, some answers depend on where you live. For Hawaii, that includes your governor, your state capital, one of your state's U.S. senators, and your U.S. representative.

The representative answer is the most specific one because it depends on your congressional district. Two people in Hawaii can have different House answers even though they share the same governor, capital, and senators.

How to study this page efficiently

Memorize the governor and capital first, then choose one senator you can answer confidently out loud.

Finish by checking your House district result close to interview day, because representatives can change and the right answer depends on your address.

FAQ

These are the follow-up questions applicants usually ask when they start reviewing state-specific answers.

Who is the governor of Hawaii now for the citizenship test?

For the 2025 civics test, the current governor answer for Hawaii is Josh Green. This is one of the answers applicants should re-check close to interview day because governors can change after elections, resignations, or appointments.

What is the capital of Hawaii for the civics test?

For the 2025 civics test, the capital of Hawaii is Honolulu. Capitals are stable facts, but they still matter because USCIS may ask the question exactly as "What is the capital of your state?"

Who is one of Hawaii's U.S. senators now?

For the 2025 civics test, one correct senator answer is Mazie K. Hirono or Brian Schatz. Either name works because USCIS asks for one senator, not both, but it helps to know both names for review.

How do I find my U.S. representative in Hawaii?

For the 2025 civics test, your House answer depends on your address, not just your state. Hawaii currently has 2 congressional districts, so use a ZIP code or address lookup when available, or choose your district in the fallback tool on this page.
