Which answers change by state?

On the 2025 civics test, some answers depend on where you live. For Minnesota, 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota now for the citizenship test?

If USCIS asks this in your interview, the current governor answer for Minnesota is Tim Walz. 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 Minnesota for the civics test?

If USCIS asks this in your interview, the capital of Minnesota is Saint Paul. 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 Minnesota's U.S. senators now?

If USCIS asks this in your interview, one correct senator answer is Amy Klobuchar or Tina Smith. 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 Minnesota?

If USCIS asks this in your interview, your House answer depends on your address, not just your state. Minnesota currently has 8 congressional districts, so use a ZIP code or address lookup when available, or choose your district in the fallback tool on this page.
