Governor
Capital
One senator
Representative
On the 2025 civics test, some answers depend on where you live. For North Dakota, 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 North Dakota can have different House answers even though they share the same governor, capital, and senators.
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.
North Dakota has one at-large House seat, so your representative answer is statewide.

For North Dakota applicants, the current governor answer for North Dakota is Kelly Armstrong. This is one of the answers applicants should re-check close to interview day because governors can change after elections, resignations, or appointments.
For North Dakota applicants, the capital of North Dakota is Bismarck. Capitals are stable facts, but they still matter because USCIS may ask the question exactly as "What is the capital of your state?"
