About Pocket Civics

Pocket Civics is a free study tool for people preparing for the U.S. citizenship test and the California permit (knowledge) test.

Where the content comes from

• The 128 citizenship questions and answers come from the official USCIS list (M-1778, 09/25). The explanations draw on the official USCIS 2025 study guide (M-1175).
• The California permit questions were written with AI from the facts in the 2025 California Driver's Handbook and checked against it. They are not real test questions.
• The explanations and the Spanish translations were written with AI and checked by a second, separate AI against the official sources. No native Spanish speaker has reviewed them yet. They are not official translations.

What we are not

We are not affiliated with USCIS, the California DMV, or any government agency. We don't give legal advice, and we can't promise you will pass.
