Overview	Application for Naturalization		The Application for Naturalization is used to become a U.S. citizen through naturalization, which is the process you take to voluntarily become a U.S. citizen if you were born outside of the United States. In general, you may be eligible if you can show continuous U.S. residence for three or five years, are at least 18 years old, and demonstrate good moral character and loyalty to the U.S. Constitution. You must also take the English and civics test, unless you qualify for an English language exemption or a medical disability exception.
	Before you start your application	Eligibility	You will need to select your basis for eligibility after you start your application.
		Fee	If you are under 75 years old, the application fee is $725. This includes the $640 standard fee plus an $85 biometrics service fee. If you are 75 years or older, there is no biometrics fee, so the application fee is $640. There is no filing fee if you are a member or veteran of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces filing on your own behalf. Refund Policy USCIS does not refund fees, regardless of any action we take on your application, petition, or request. By continuing this transaction, you acknowledge that you must submit fees in the exact amount and that you are paying the fees for a government service. You further agree that the filing fee, biometric fee, and any other paid costs related to this financial transaction are final and not refundable. Please refer to the instructions for the form(s) you are filing for additional information or you may call the USCIS Contact Center at 800-375-5283. For TTY (deaf or hard of hearing) 800-767-1833.	The filing fee is $1,160. There is no filing fee if you are a member or veteran of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces filing on your own behalf. Refund Policy USCIS does not refund fees, regardless of any action we take on your application, petition or request, or how long USCIS takes to reach a decision. By continuing this transaction, you acknowledge that you must submit fees in the exact amount and that you are paying the fees for a government service. Please refer to the instructions for the form(s) you are filing for additional information or you may call the USCIS Contact Center at 800-375-5283. For TTY (deaf or hard of hearing) 800-767-1833.
		Filing online	Submitting your application online is the same as mailing in a completed paper form. They both gather the same information and cost the same.
		Documents you may need	We will automatically determine which documents you need to provide us as you fill out your application. The other documents you need will depend on the information you provide in the application, such as your personal history, family, and circumstances.
	After you submit your application	Track your case status online	After you submit your form, you can track its status through your USCIS account. Sign in to your account often to check your case status and read any important messages from USCIS.
		Respond to requests for information	If we need more information from you, we will send you a Request for Evidence (RFE) or a Request for Information (RFI). You can respond to our request and upload your documents through your USCIS account.
		Provide your biometrics	A few weeks after you submit your application, we will contact you to schedule an appointment at an Application Support Center near you. At the appointment, we will get your fingerprints, photograph, and signature.
		Attend your interview	After your biometrics appointment, we will schedule your interview at a local USCIS field office (unless you qualify for a special accommodation). At the interview, you will answer questions about your application and take the civics and English tests as required.
		Take the Oath of Allegiance	Once your application is approved, you will be ready to take the Oath of Allegiance. At your naturalization ceremony, you will return your Permanent Resident Card (Green Card), answer questions about your activity since the interview, take the Oath of Allegiance, and get your Certificate of Naturalization.
	Completing your form online	Complete the Getting Started section first	You should answer all questions in the Getting Started section first so we can best customize the rest of your online form experience.
		Provide as many responses as you can	You should provide as many responses as you can. Incomplete fields or sections and missing information can slow down the process after you submit your form.
		We will automatically save your responses	We will automatically save your information when you select next to go to a new page or navigate to another section of the form. We will save your information for 30 days from today, or from the last time you worked on the form.
		How to continue filling out your form	After you start your form, you can sign in to your account to continue where you left off.

All domestic USCIS facilities meet the Accessibility Guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act. - If you are unable to travel to a designated USCIS location for an interview, USCIS may visit you at your home or a hospital to conduct the interview. - If you use a service animal such as a guide dog, your animal may come with you to your interview or any other immigration benefit-related appointment. - If you are blind or have low vision, USCIS may permit you to take a test orally rather than in writing. - If you are hearing impaired, the officer conducting your interview will speak loudly and slowly, or we will work with you to arrange for a sign language interpreter. - If you require a sign language interpreter at your interview, or any other immigration benefit-related appointment, please indicate that here.
