Certificate of Citizenship Application
A certificate of citizenship is a document used to prove your citizenship status if you were not born in the United States. For example, this may be necessary if you apply for a benefit only available to U.S. citizens, such as a federal student loan, a government job, or certain loans.
To request this document, you will need to file Form N-600, Application for Certificate of Citizenship, with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). A filing package from FileRight.com can help you complete your N-600 quickly, accurately, and best of all, successfully.
USCIS Form N-600 with a pen and an American flag. Use this form to apply for a Certificate of Citizenship, which allows you to prove your eligibility for the benefits of U.S. citizenship.
The Difference Between Applications for Naturalization and a Certificate of Citizenship
Although it is easy to confuse the two, requesting a Certificate of Citizenship is not the same as applying for citizenship through naturalization. Your current citizenship status will help you determine which application you need to use.
People who are already U.S. citizens, either by birth or through “automatic citizenship,” can use Form N-600 to apply for a Certificate of Citizenship. In this case, you are seeking proof of a status that you already hold.
People who are permanent residents (green card holders) in the United States but not already U.S. citizens can apply for citizenship with Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. Using this form and going through this process would change your status from permanent resident to U.S. citizen.
Who Should File Form N-600?
You should file Form N-600 to request a Certificate of Citizenship if you:
- Were born in a foreign country to a U.S. citizen parent. In this circumstance, you were a citizen at birth because of your parent’s citizenship status, but you likely lack the same documentation as someone born here.
- Automatically became a U.S. citizen after birth but before you turned 18 years old. So, for example, children adopted by U.S. citizens or whose parents become naturalized automatically derive citizenship through their parents.
A parent can also file Form N-600 on behalf of a child who meets the above criteria.
How We Help You Apply for a Certificate of Citizenship
We provide automated filing software that will walk you through every application question, providing helpful explanations along the way. We also have a bilingual (English and Spanish) customer support team available to answer your questions.
Our technology checks your application for errors and provides you with customized filing instructions. This way, you know where to send your application and what documents to include.
One of our immigration lawyers will also review your application to check for accuracy. This allows you the chance to correct mistakes or inaccuracies before submitting your Certificate of Citizenship application.
USCIS Filing Fees to Apply for a Certificate of Citizenship
The FileRight.com application package preparation fee is $295.
Additionally, USCIS collects a non-refundable $1,385 filing fee from applicants. They will not return these fees for any reason. They will not return these fees for any reason, even if they deny your application because of inaccurate information, omissions, or errors.
We’re so confident in our process that if your application is denied, we’ll refund your money — including government fees!
How Long Does It Take to Get a Certificate of Citizenship?
Once you submit your application, you will receive a receipt notifying you that it was received. USCIS will then process your request, reviewing your application carefully to ensure you are eligible for a Certificate of Citizenship.
Applications are reviewed in the order they are received, and processing time varies depending on the caseload at your local field office. Currently, it can take anywhere from two months to over two years for you to receive approval and get your certificate.
Get Started on Your Certificate of Citizenship Application Today
