What Is Naturalization?
Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a lawful permanent resident after meeting the requirements established in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Applicants must demonstrate good moral character, attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution, and favorable disposition toward the United States.
Applicants should prepare for a civics test and an English language test, unless they qualify for an exemption or waiver.
What is a Certificate of Citizenship?
1: You can request a Certificate of Citizenship if you were born outside the United States to a U.S. citizen parent; or
2: You can request a Certificate of Citizenship if you automatically became a citizen of the United States after birth, but before you turned 18 years of age.
3: A parent or legal guardian can also file Form N-600 on behalf of a minor child.
