2025 civics test · Question 62 of 128 · System of Government

What is the capital of your state?

Official answers

• Answers will vary. [District of Columbia residents should answer that D.C. is not a state and does not have a capital. Residents of U.S. territories should name the capital of the territory.]

This answer depends on who holds office or where you live. Check uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates shortly before your interview.

Why

Every state has a state capital, and your answer depends on where you live. Washington, D.C. is the capital of the country, not a state capital. D.C. residents say it is not a state and has no capital, and territory residents name their territory's capital. Check uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates for updates.
