Hi All,

I might be putting the cart before the horse here, but I have a question about the explanation needed for Part 2 Question 17 from the N-600 form. Those that sent in the N-600 and applied for a passport previously to sending the form what explanation did you provide?

Once my wife becomes a citizen we are planning on getting a passport for her and our oldest daughter, but we are also planning on tying all loose ends by getting the CoC after the passport. Which is why I ask for what information or explanation do I need to provide so that the process is smoother.

My understanding is that they only provide the Coc when you don't have any other proof of citizenship like a passport hence the question.

Of course not. As a US citizen not born in the US and who didn't get a Certificate of Naturalization, they qualify for a Certificate of Citizenship.

Anyone out there that has applied for a passport prior to the CoC, what explanation did you put on Part 2 Question 17 from the N-600 form.

You could mark "yes" then attach the following:

"Applied for US Passport based on mother's/father's naturalization on Month/Day/Year."

There are many reasons they may be asking this.

They could want to make sure that you're asking for a first time and not a replacement certificate.

They may want to know if you were once a US citizen in the past and were stripped of or surrendered your citizenship.

I think a brief answer would be sufficient. Just my opinion.
