Application for Certificate of
Citizenship

Body Text

Revised Body Text

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.

Learn more about applying for a Certificate of Citizenship

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.
[line break]
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. If you are a member of the U.S.
Armed Forces, you will need to submit the paper version of this form.

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.

Biometrics appointment

A few weeks after you submit your application, we will contact you to schedule an appointment at an
Application Support Center near you. At the appointment, we will get your biometrics.
Every individual who is an applicant, petitioner, derivative, beneficiary, or sponsor of an immigration benefit
request or other request submitted to USCIS is required to submit biometrics unless USCIS waives or exempts
the requirement. You will be notified of the time and place of your appointment if you must appear and you
will be provided requirements for rescheduling if necessary. If you fail to submit any biometrics as required,
USCIS may deny your application, petition, or request.
DHS may store the biometrics submitted by an individual and use or reuse biometrics to conduct background
and security checks, including a check of criminal history records maintained by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), verify identity, produce documents, determine eligibility for immigration and
naturalization benefits, or to perform any other functions necessary for administering and enforcing
immigration and naturalization laws, and any other law within DHS authority.

Respond to requests for
information

If we need more information from you, we will send you a Request for Evidence (RFE) or Request for
Information (RFI). You can respond to our request and upload your documents through your USCIS account.
