How It Works

Our Naturalization Fee Calculator helps you accurately determine the total cost for your U.S. citizenship application, including the application fee and the biometrics service fee. Understanding these costs upfront is crucial for financial planning and avoiding delays in your naturalization process, especially with potential fee adjustments expected by 2026. This tool ensures you're prepared for the exact amount due to USCIS.

This calculator sums the current USCIS Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, filing fee with the biometrics services fee. For 2026, the standard N-400 filing fee is projected to be $760.00, and the biometrics services fee is $85.00, making a total of $845.00 for most applicants. Applicants aged 75 or older are exempt from the biometrics fee, and certain income-eligible individuals may qualify for a fee waiver or reduced fee.

Always double-check the USCIS website for the most up-to-date fee schedule before submitting your application, as fees can change without prior notice. A common mistake is sending an incorrect payment amount, which can lead to your application being rejected and returned, causing significant delays. Remember to include the biometrics fee unless you are specifically exempt.
