Proof of Citizenship

I was not born in the US, but my parents naturalized before I turned 18 which gave a US citizenship. I don't have a certificate or anything, but I do have a US Passport.

so... Is a US Passport enough to prove my citizenship? Or would I have to go get some sort of certificate?

I don't know.. I was about 12 years old I didn't do any of the paperwork, and apparently I don't have any certificates or anything. I just have this passport.

Dude, If you have a U.S. Passport, you are a U.S. citizen, period.

That's what I thought as well. I have been using my passport for years to prove my citizenship, but on the PLC application it says I need A certificate of citizenship. I asked my OSO about it, he wasn't sure and called someone else who said a passport is not good enough. But I have had misinformation before like this, and I just want to double check this info, since i have used my passport many times for government related things.

I think if you read your application carefully, it says Passport OR Certificate. If you have a U.S. Passport issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington D.C. you are by definition a U.S. Citizen. No other proof is necessary.

Good luck to you.

You can use the DOS website to trace the source of your qualification as a US Citizen and follow that trail to get your SS Card, which is another form of proof of citizenship.

:confused:

Bad gouge. SS card doesn't prove anything.

Proof of citizenship is defined here in paragraph 2.

I had this EXACT situation. Parents naturalized before I was 18. I had a US Passport and no certificate of citizenship. I renounced my Canadian citizenship, and made it through OCS just fine. It can be done.

RZA, I'll just add a note here on this topic. If your parents got a U.S. Passport for themselves and you fraudulently, you all are in deep dodo.... And this will all come out when you fill out your SF86 form requesting a DoD security clearance and the subsequent background investigation on your past associations and activities. Google "SF86" to see what all is involved.
