Why local facts matter

The national test still asks where you live

On the 2025 civics test, some answers depend on your state. For North Dakota, that includes the governor, the state capital, one current senator, and your U.S. representative.

01

Start with fixed answers

Lock in the state capital and the governor before adding names that can change.

02

Choose one senator

USCIS asks for one senator, so pick the name you can say most confidently out loud.

03

Confirm your district

Finish with your House representative because that answer depends on your current address.

North Dakota has one at-large House seat, so your representative answer is statewide.
