Reminder: You Can Use Credit Cards to Pay Naturalization Application Fees

As a reminder, if you are applying for U.S. citizenship, you can now use a credit card to pay the Form N-400, Application for Naturalization fee. Most applicants must pay a $680 fee, which includes the $595 naturalization application fee plus a biometrics fee of $85. 
 
To pay with your credit card, you must file a Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transaction. This enhancement is one of the recommendations made by the White House Task Force on New Americans.
 
At this time, you can use the Form G-1450 only to pay for the Form N-400 filing fee. 
 
All USCIS forms are free and can be downloaded at uscis.gov/forms.
