Deceased US Citizen Parent & My Citizenship

Lost a US citizen parent who never filed for your citizenship? Here's how Form N-600 can help:

  • N-600 for Citizenship: Apply if you believe you were a US citizen at birth but lack a certificate.

  • Gather Documents: Proof of your birth, parent's US citizenship & death (if applicable).

  • Complete Form N-600: Follow USCIS instructions carefully.

  • Show Your Eligibility: Include documents proving your parent's US citizenship and your relation to them.

  • Submit Application & Fee: Mail it to the USCIS Lockbox designated for your area.

  • USCIS Review: They might request additional information.

  • Decision by Mail: Get approved? You'll receive a Certificate of Citizenship!
