Citizenship
Ready to vote in Passaic County?
Most residents can apply after five years with a green card, or after three if they're married to a citizen and living together.
Before you file, we look at your trips abroad, your taxes and any arrests, because those cause most of the trouble at the interview. We also check whether your income qualifies you for a fee waiver or a reduced fee.
From the first check to the oath
Checking that you qualify
Your dates, your trips and your record, before anything is filed.
The application
We fill it in with you, and you keep a copy of everything.
The fee
We'll see whether you can ask for a waiver or a reduced fee.
The test and the interview
Practice sessions with Derya until you feel ready. The test itself is in English.
Ready to check your dates?
Bring your green card and a list of your trips outside the country. We'll do the counting.
