    Am I Eligible Page Title

    This section details general and special requirements for becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen. Please use the Naturalization Eligibility Worksheet or you may download the eligibility requirements in MS Word 6.0 format or browse the information below.

    This page also provides U.S. History and Structure Study Guides for the Civics Exam, which applicants are required to pass before being considered eligible for U.S. Naturalization. Finally, be sure to try your knowledge of U.S. Government and History in our interactive self-test.

    The CIS is developing new English, U.S. history, and government tests for use in late 2006. For more information, see CIS’ Redesign of Naturalization Testing.

    If you already know that you are eligible, proceed directly to the section on Naturalization Application Procedures -- this provides information on filing your application, Form N-400.
