What citizenship costs

These are the government's fees for Form N-400, not ours. Checked November 2026.

$0Fee waiver: low income or on benefits like SNAP or Medicaid
$0U.S. military service members and veterans
$380Reduced fee: household income at or below 400% of the poverty line
$710Regular fee if you file online ($760 on paper)
Fees may go up. The government has proposed raising the fee to $1,280 and ending the $0 and $380 options. It was not final as of fall 2026. If you qualify for a lower fee, it may be smart to apply soon. Always check uscis.gov/g-1055 before you pay.

⚠️ Watch out for scams

  • Never pay a "notario" or "immigration consultant." They are not lawyers.
  • Never pay anyone for a job offer or a visa. Real employers pay these costs.
  • Government forms are always free at uscis.gov.
  • No one can promise you will be approved.
