A:
Yes, you can use a Bible during the US naturalization ceremony oath of allegiance. Many people choose to hold a Bible or another religious text that is meaningful to them when they take the oath.
It's important to communicate your desire to use a Bible to the officials conducting the ceremony. They are generally accommodating of such requests as long as it does not disrupt the proceedings.
Bringing a Bible to the ceremony can be a powerful way to honor your faith and make the moment even more personal and significant for you and your family.
