Citizenship Test Answers for Utah
Four of the 128 civics questions depend on where you live. Here is how to answer them if you live in Utah.
62. What is the capital of your state?
Answer for Utah
Salt Lake City
This is the one state-specific answer that does not change. The three below change with elections. Every name on this page is checked each night against the congressional record and, for governors, two independent public records, and a name is left out rather than printed when the sources disagree.
23. Who is one of your state's U.S. senators now?
Answer for Utah now
- John R. Curtis
- Mike Lee
You only need to give one of these names.
Utah has two U.S. senators, like every state. You only need to name one of them. Senators are elected to six-year terms, so this answer changes; give the name of a senator serving on the day of your interview.
Look up Utah's senators at senate.gov
29. Name your U.S. representative.
Your representative depends on your congressional district, not just your state, so it is different for two people living in the same city. Look it up by ZIP code.
All 4 of Utah's representatives, by district
| District | Representative |
|---|---|
| 1 | Blake D. Moore |
| 2 | Celeste Maloy |
| 3 | Mike Kennedy |
| 4 | Burgess Owens |
If you do not know your district, the lookup below finds it from your ZIP code.
Find your representative at house.gov
Residents of territories with nonvoting Delegates or Resident Commissioners may provide the name of that Delegate or Commissioner. Also acceptable is any statement that the territory has no (voting) representatives in Congress.
61. Who is the governor of your state now?
Answer for Utah now
Spencer Cox
Governors are elected and change, so answer with whoever is serving on the day of your
interview. Your state government's official .gov website is the reliable
place to check.
Background on Utah
Salt Lake City is Utah's capital and its largest city, founded in 1847 by Mormon pioneers who had crossed the plains to settle beyond the reach of the government they were leaving. Utah became the 45th state in 1896, decades after first applying, because Congress refused admission until the territory abandoned polygamy. It has 4 congressional districts and 6 electoral votes. The state's founding illustrates a theme the test raises in its questions about religious freedom: people have moved within the country for the same reason colonists once crossed the ocean. Note that among the four state-specific answers on this page, only the capital stays constant from one election to the next.
This background section is written by US Citizenship Test Practice. It is not part of the USCIS question list, and it names no senator, representative or governor itself: those names change with elections, so they appear only in the answers above, which are checked every night.
