Revision of a Currently Approved
Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Application for Certificate of
Citizenship.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: N–600;
USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or

information from respondents who are
requesting a Certificate of Citizenship
because they acquired United States
citizenship either by birth abroad to a
U.S. citizen parent(s), adoption by a
U.S. citizen parent(s) or after meeting
eligibility requirements after the
naturalization of a foreign born parent.
This form is also used by applicants
requesting a Certificate of Citizenship
because they automatically became a
citizen of the United States after
meeting eligibility requirements for
acquisition of citizenship by foreign
born children. Form N–600 can also be
filed by a parent or legal guardian on
behalf of a minor child. The form
standardizes requests for the benefit,
and ensures that basic information

by applicants.

estimated for an average respondent to
