Citizenship test answers for Idaho

Updated · Names checked October 20, 2026 against official U.S. government sources

Four civics questions depend on where you live. Here is how to answer each one in Idaho, using the instructions USCIS prints with the questions and names taken from official government sources on October 20, 2026.

Elections on November 3, 2026Many Senate seats, every House seat and many governorships are on the ballot. Winners take office in January 2027 or on the date their state sets, so some names on this page may change soon. You must name whoever holds the office on the day of your interview — check the official links below before you go.

How to answer each question

Who is one of your state's U.S. senators now? (2025 #23 · 2008 #20)Either of your two senators: Mike Crapo and James E. Risch.
Name your U.S. representative. (2025 #29 · 2008 #23)Idaho has 2 congressional districts, so your representative depends on your address. Find yours with your ZIP code at house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative.
Who is the governor of your state now? (2025 #61 · 2008 #43)Brad Little.
What is the capital of your state? (2025 #62 · 2008 #44)Boise.

The senator and capital questions are also among the 65/20 questions on the 2008 version (and the governor question on the 2025 version), so applicants studying only the 20 starred questions still need these answers.
