Depends on your district
12 possible House districtsWhich answers change by state?
On the 2025 civics test, some answers depend on where you live. For New Jersey, 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey now for the citizenship test?
When you practice this answer, the current governor answer for New Jersey is Mikie Sherrill. 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 New Jersey for the civics test?
When you practice this answer, the capital of New Jersey is Trenton. 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 New Jersey's U.S. senators now?
When you practice this answer, one correct senator answer is Cory A. Booker or Andy Kim. Either name works because USCIS asks for one senator, not both, but it helps to know both names for review.

When you practice this answer, your House answer depends on your address, not just your state. New Jersey currently has 12 congressional districts, so use a ZIP code or address lookup when available, or choose your district in the fallback tool on this page.
