On April 13, 2016,
USCIS revised Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. The revised version
is available atuscis.gov/n-400. You may continue to use the
9/13/13 edition of the form until August 9, 2016. We will reject and
return previous versions of Form N-400 submitted on or after August 10,
2016.
Eligibility
Requirements
The eligibility
requirements for naturalization have not changed. For information on how to
complete the form, and where eligibility requirements can be found, visit uscis.gov/n-400. For additional information
refer to our Guide to Naturalization.
Changes You Will See
on the Revised Form
We posted the draft
form on April 9, 2015, for 60-day public comment and again on September 30,
2015, for 30-day public comment and received numerous comments. The changes we
made:
· Removed the barcode.
The 2D barcode technology has been removed on the new version of the form.
· Streamlined the application process for the customer. The revised form saves you time if a certain part does not
apply to you.
o For example, we added language on page one about your parents’
citizenship. Your answers will determine whether you complete Part 6, or
continue directly to Part 7.
· Identified evidence. We
added language to the form instructions to help you identify what evidence you
need to submit with your form and bring to your interview.
