Application for Certificate of Citizenship | The Application for Certificate of Citizenship (N-600) is used to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship which serves as evidence of your or your child’s U.S. citizenship. You may file this application if you were born abroad and are claiming U.S. citizenship at birth through your parents. You may also file this application to obtain evidence of citizenship if you automatically became a U.S. citizen by operation of law after your birth but before you turned 18 years of age. A parent or guardian may also file this application on behalf of a minor child. Please note that USCIS does not issue Certificates of Citizenship in cases where the person became a U.S. citizen based on birth in the United States. USCIS only issues Certificates of Citizenship to those individuals who were born abroad but are U.S. citizens at birth through their parents, or who became citizens after birth but before the age of 18. |

Before you start your application | Eligibility | You should file this application if: 1. You are requesting a Certificate of Citizenship because you were born outside the United States to a U.S. citizen parent; or 2. You are requesting a Certificate of Citizenship because you automatically became a citizen of the United States after birth, but before you turned 18 years of age. (A parent or legal guardian can also fill Form N-600 on behalf of a minor child.) If you are claiming U.S. citizenship after birth, but before you reached 18 years of age, the law in effect when the last qualifying condition was met is the law that applies to you. Generally, the conditions are listed below. These conditions must be met before you turn 18 years of age: 1. Your parent must be a U.S. citizen 2. You must be the biological child of that U.S. citizen parent 3. You must be lawfully admitted to the United States for lawful permanent residence; and 4. You must be living in the United States in the legal and physical custody of your U.S. citizen parent. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces currently cannot file this request online.

|||
Eligibility of adopted children | An adopted child may also acquire U.S. citizenship through his or her adoptive U.S. citizen parent depending on the law being applied. Currently, an adopted child can acquire U.S. citizenship through his or her U.S. citizen parent. However, step children CANNOT acquire U.S. citizenship under this provision. | ||||
