Where do I apply for a certificate of naturalization

[A.A 18]

Please note, I am a naturalized U.S. citizen. I became a citizen under my parents when they got their citizenship.

 

I have a U.S. passport and had it for a while now, but I never had a certificate of naturalization and not sure how to get one. The reason i am just now needing the certificate is because my passport is getting ready to expire and in order to get it replaced i need to provide evidence of citizenship.

 

How do I apply for the certificate ONLY and how much will it be. I am already a U.S. Citizen. I looked everywhere on the USCIS website, but its hella confusing. Pretty much I have had my passport for almost 10 years and it expires soon.

Typing in "proof of citizenship" into the search bar at the top of USCIS website brings...

But keep in mind that an expired passport is proof of citizenship.

Since you got your citizenship automatically when your parents applied & got approved for naturalization (form N400), you can't apply for a "Naturalization" certificate.

You are a derivate of this benefit and therefore, you should apply for certificate of "Citizenship" by filing form N600.

The cost of filing this form is $1,140 (only exception is that it's free for veterans & members of the US armed forces)

Processing time for Raleigh, NC is between 5.5-14 months
