Florida Citizenship Test Answers (2026)
The answers to the civics questions that depend on where you live in Florida: your U.S. senators, your U.S. representative, your governor and your capital. Checked against official government lists on September 27, 2026.
Quick answers
- Who is one of your state’s U.S. senators now?
- Name one: Ashley Moody or Rick Scott
- Name your U.S. representative.
- It depends on where you live. Florida has 28 representatives, one for each congressional district (see the list below).
- Who is the governor of your state now?
- Ron DeSantis
- What is the capital of your state?
- Tallahassee
Florida’s U.S. senators
Like every state, Florida has two U.S. senators. The officer asks for one name, so pick the one that is easier for you to say and remember.
- Ashley Moody (Republican) This seat is on the ballot in a special election on November 3, 2026.
- Rick Scott (Republican)
Senators elected in November take office on January 3, 2027. Until then, the current senator is the right answer. We update this page when the new senator is sworn in.
Florida’s U.S. representatives
Florida has 28 members of the House of Representatives. Each one represents a congressional district, so your answer depends on your home address. The fastest way to find yours is to enter your ZIP code on house.gov.

A vacant seat stays empty until a special election. If you live in that district and it is still vacant on the day of your interview, tell the officer the seat is vacant. Check house.gov a few days before your interview in case someone has been sworn in.
All House seats are on the ballot on November 3, 2026, and the new terms start on January 3, 2027. You only need the name, not the district number or party.
Governor of Florida
The governor of Florida is Ron DeSantis. Florida elects a governor on November 3, 2026. If the office changes hands, the new governor takes office in the following weeks, and the answer changes on that day. Until then, give the current governor’s name.
On the 2025 test this is one of the 20 questions for applicants who qualify for the 65/20 exception, so older applicants should know it well.
Capital of Florida
The capital of Florida is Tallahassee.
Common mistake: Jacksonville is the largest city, but it is not the capital. The answer is Tallahassee.
If an answer changes before your interview
Officers expect the name of the person in office on the day of your interview. Elected officials can change after elections, resignations and appointments, so check the answers again the week of your interview. USCIS also posts changes at uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates.
Last checked September 27, 2026. Sources: senate.gov, the Clerk of the U.S. House (clerk.house.gov) and the National Governors Association (nga.org).

These four questions are only a small part of the civics test. Practice the others with the free mock test, which follows the real pass rules.
Common questions
Do I need to know both senators from Florida?
No. The question asks for one of your state’s senators, so one correct name is enough.
Do I need to know my representative’s party or district number?
No. The name is enough. The party and district are listed here only to help you find the right person.
I just moved to Florida. Which answers do I give?
Give the answers for the place where you live on the day of your interview. You must live in the state or USCIS district for at least 3 months before you file, so your new address should match your application.
Are these questions on the 65/20 test?
On the 2025 test, only the governor question is part of the 20 questions for 65/20 applicants. On the 2008 test, the senator and capital questions are on the 65/20 list.
