During an appearance on 'Live with Kelly and Ryan' on Monday (21.09.20), Kim said: "There are 10 questions, and if you get the first six right, you pass.
"But it wasn't an easy test, you have to study.
"So, I passed and then I had to take the oath.
"I was so emotional. I was verklempt. I didn't expect that reaction. The officer who sent me through, she said, 'You know, some people don't take this as seriously and I was really touched at how emotional it was for [you].'"
The 'Filthy Rich' star is back in Vancouver now, where she is quarantining with her partner, Russell Thomas, to be near to her elderly mother Gladys.
She said: "My mom is actually in a senior's facility.
"So my partner Russ and I wanted to be there with her, just in case there were any issues."
The 64-year-old actress admitted it was "pretty scary" in New York amid the coronavirus pandemic and they were "lucky to get out".
She added: "We left in April and it was a pretty scary time in New York City at that point. We were very happy and lucky to get out.”
