Current Office Holders Citizenship Test

How to use the officials lookup

1. Find your list in the table: the 2025 list or the 2008 list.
2. Note the numbered questions that name a current office-holder.
3. Open the USCIS Test Updates page, which USCIS names as the source for current answers.
4. Use the supplementary official links for the House, the Supreme Court and the White House if you want to confirm.
5. Check again shortly before your interview.

The page prints no names. Give the name of the official serving on the day of your interview.

The lookup works in your browser and nothing you enter is sent anywhere. Because these rules are about legal status, treat the result as information that points you to the official page, and confirm anything important with USCIS or with a lawyer or accredited representative. Say each answer aloud once. Check the source link when a number matters to your case. Come back to anything you were unsure about the next day. Nothing you do here is sent to a server. Keep a note of any question you have to look up twice. Short sessions repeated over several days work better than one long one. If something on this page seems out of date, the linked USCIS page is the authority. Repeat the whole routine once more.

Which citizenship test questions name a current office holder?

Four questions on the 2025 list (Q30, Q38, Q39, Q57) and six items on the 2008 list (Q28, Q29, Q39, Q40, Q46, Q47) are national answers that USCIS keeps on its Test Updates page; the senator, representative and governor questions (2025 Q23, Q29, Q61; 2008 Q20, Q23, Q43) also change with who holds office in your state. This lookup marks each one, and the answer comes from the official USCIS Test Updates page rather than from a fixed printed answer.

Not every flagged question asks for a name. The 2008 Q39 and Q46 depend on the current office-holders as well, so check the official page for them too.

Whose name do I give at my naturalization interview?

Give the name of the official serving at the time of your interview, not the name you learned while studying. USCIS says the officer expects that current name. Where a question shows several answers, you need only as many as the question asks for. Under USCIS policy, an alternative phrasing of a correct answer also counts.

Who is the chief justice of the United States now?

The lookup does not print that name. The Chief Justice is Q57 on the 2025 list and Q40 on the 2008 list, and the current answer is on the USCIS Test Updates page. The Supreme Court’s justices page lists the sitting justices. The Chief Justice presides over the Supreme Court, so the name you give should match whoever holds that seat on your interview day.

Why does USCIS not print names on the question lists?

The PDFs for both lists answer these questions with a pointer to the Test Updates page instead of a name, because answers change with elections, appointments and law. The USCIS page says that some answers may change because of federal or state elections, certain judicial appointments, or statutory changes. The copy of that page we fetched on 2026-10-26 showed a review date of 09/18/2025, so treat it as the place to look, and read the current version yourself shortly before your interview.

Which questions never change?

Questions that ask about the office itself, not the person, do not change. Examples from the 2025 list include Q53 “How many seats are on the Supreme Court?” (Nine (9)), Q36 how long the President is elected for (Four (4) years) and Q27 how many senators each state has (Two (2)). The 2008 list is different: its Q39 asks how many justices are on the Supreme Court, and it sends you to the Test Updates page for that number.
