Two months ago, a court ruled that Lauri Love should face trial in the United States.
He's accused of hacking into the FBI, the US central bank and the country's missile defence agency.
Lawyers for Mr Love, who's 31 and from Suffolk, said his mental health problems meant he should not be sent abroad, but US prosecutors said that was an excuse to escape justice.
Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary, has now signed an order for the extradition to proceed. The Home Office said Ms Rudd made the decision after "carefully" considering all relevant matters. Mr Love is expected to appeal.
His father, the Reverend Alexander Love, said the Home Secretary had written to his son.
He added: "My sense is they are saying it is not their fault. They have created procedure [for extradition] that they can't control.
"We will be appealing. We are talking to our lawyers."
The Rev Love said earlier: "The judge accepted he had mental health issues, but still said there was a public interest to honour the extradition to the US.
