Apply for citizenship online and pay your fee by credit card

Did you know that a naturalization (citizenship) application can now be submitted online?

USCIS has made it possible for a citizenship application, including all supporting documents, to be submitted online. We like this relatively new option because it makes it possible for your citizenship application to be processed a bit more quickly, and monitored through the USCIS website.

Not only that, but the application fee can now be paid by credit card. This is true for citizenship applications, as well as many others, including applications for permanent residency (a “green card”) as well as permission to work and travel abroad. Learn more at:
