Proof of US Spouse Citizenship

[Chaka Quaker 41]

I’m planning on applying for citizenship and  I have questions about my spouse’s citizenship. He became a citizen when he was a child. He had a passport that expired in July this year so he is getting a new one. I read on the N-400 instructions that my spouse has to prop he has been a citizen for at least 3 years. Now the new passport will show this year’s date. We scanned the old passport to have as proof of him being a citizen for many years now. Would there be an issue if we just submit copies of the new passport with copies of the expired one? Should we provide other proves of his citizenship? If so, which would be the best? Thank you.

How did your husband got his citizenship? Naturalization, birth, derived thru his parents? I don't see any issues if he has been a US Citizen since he was a child. If the proof of his citizenship is his passport just keep a copy of the expired one.

He became citizen as a baby because both of his parents are US citizens. So the proof he has that he is a citizen is the passport. He has to give his old passport away to get the new one, so that’s why we made copies of it.

Since both of his parents are US citizen when he was born then his birth certificate is an enough evidence of his citizenship. I don't see this as a conflict on the requirements neither is his renewed passport.

Thank you. I just figured that the fact that we will show a renewed passtport because the other expired enough to prove how long he has been a citizen since that indicates he had the other one for 10 years
