Military Personnel and Veterans Can Now File Form N-400, Citizenship Application, Online
On May 6, 2020, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) announced that U.S. service members and veterans may now apply for citizenship online using the USCIS N-400 form.[1]
Until now, U.S. service members and veterans filed a paper Form N-400 to apply for citizenship and obtain a certificate of naturalization.[2]
To submit an N-400 citizenship application online, individuals must first create a USCIS online account at myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov.
This free account allows individuals to:
- Submit and track the status of their forms;
- Pay their fees;
- Track the status of their case;
- Communicate with USCIS through a secure inbox; and
- Respond to requests for evidence.[3]
USCIS will continue to accept the latest paper version of the N-400 form by mail.[4]
