Looking for some clarification

Hi all, not sure if this has already been discussed but I am having a hard time looking for information on this. Once you've become a naturalized citizen and decide to look for another job and you have to fill out a I-9 form can you use the Naturalization Certificate as proof of US Citizenship? I was looking at the acceptable forms and I did not see it listed!? Am I just going to have to apply for a US Passport, which I am very reluctant to because I worry so much about sending out the original certificate. Any clarification would be appreciated!

You are overthinking this. You need to show either one thing from list A - OR-  one thing from B + one thing from C. Most USCs do the latter- drivers license + SS card.  When you check off the box on the i9 that says you are a citizen you dont need to provide proof of such. Thats the why and how of it is that so many people are able to work illegally so easily- they claim to be a citizen and show documents from B and C.

Hmm okay interesting thank you for clarifying, I do have a tendency of overthinking very much 😩.

You are a US Citizen, you can state it, and don't need to prove it.

Its up to the employer to verify your status now!!!
