What is the filing fee for the N-400 application?

The filing fee for the N-400 application, which is the Application for Naturalization, is $725. This amount encompasses both the application fee and the biometrics fee, which is required to process the application and conduct background checks on the applicant. The biometrics fee covers the costs associated with capturing fingerprints and taking photographs, essential components in the identity verification process for naturalization.

Understanding the correct fee is crucial, as failing to include the proper amount can lead to delays or rejection of the application. The other amounts listed are inaccurate for the current filing fees as determined by USCIS, reflecting the specific requirements established for this process. Being familiar with these fees helps applicants prepare adequately and ensures smooth processing of their naturalization applications.
