Children who were born outside the U.S. but now live in the U.S. may acquire citizenship under Section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). A child born outside of the United States automatically becomes a U.S. citizen when all of the following conditions have been met on or after Feb. 27, 2001: 
The child has at least one parent, including an adoptive parent, who is a U.S. citizen by birth or through naturalization;
The child is under 18 years of age;
The child is a lawful permanent resident (LPR); and
The child is residing in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent.


I do not have a Certificate of Citizenship, just my US passport as proof of being a USC. Should I submit my parents' naturalization certificates along with a copy of all pages of my US Passport? Or is the passport good enough?
