What documents prove citizenship in U.S.?

You can prove your citizenship in a variety of ways. The documents usually required U.S. citizenship, according USCIS rules are:

• U.S. Birth Certificate;
• U.S. Passport;
• Certificate of Citizenship;
• Naturalization Certificate;
• Consular Report of Birth Abroad;

If you need to replace your Certificate of Citizenship or your Naturalization Certificate, file Form N-565, Application for Replacement Naturalization Citizenship Document.

How do I get proof of my U.S. citizenship?

There are three ways to be a U.S. citizen:

• You were born in the U.S.;
• You were born abroad to U.S. citizens.;
• You moved to the U.S. and went through the naturalization process;
• Born in the U.S.;

Keep in mind, if you are a citizen who was born in the U.S., your birth certificate is your proof of citizenship. You can get a copy of your birth certificate by contacting the Bureau of Vital Statistics in the state in which you were born.

But, if you were born outside the U.S. and your parents are U.S. citizens, confirm if your parents registered your birth at a U.S. consulate when you were born.

So, if the answer is positive, congratulations, you will have a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, and this document is proof of citizenship. If they didn’t do this or lost the form, you will need to apply for a passport or Certificate of Citizenship and file Form N-565.

If you want a U.S. passport, you can apply for it in the same way as someone born in the United States. However, you will have the added requirement of establishing your citizenship claim.

Check the locals where the passport applications can be made at:

• Passport offices in the U.S.;
• Post offices in the U.S.;
• U.S. consulates abroad;
• Citizenship through Naturalization;

If you were born outside of the U.S. and filed an application for citizenship using Form N-400, the citizenship certificate that you were issued at your naturalization oath ceremony is your proof of citizenship.

On the other hand, if you have lost your Naturalization Certificate or Certificate of Citizenship, file Form N-565 to replace the lost certificate.
