My wife became a citizen when her daughter was just 17 years if age, she currently has a 10 year greencard.

 

Question: What form does her daughter need to apply for citizenship?

 

Thank you

If your daughter was under your wife's care and custody and was a permanent resident at the time your wife became a US citizen, then your daughter automatically became a citizen at the same time your wife did.  Filing the N-600 ("Certificate of Citizenship") is OPTIONAL.  Your daughter can get her US Passport using her mother's Naturalization Certificate.

Yep, I became a citizen automatically when my mother became naturalized and I was still 17. Then went to apply for a passport and that's it. Though we couldn't convince our postal worker to accept the passport application as they weren't aware of the automatic citizenship, but went to a different place and applied for a passport there. I have since been renewing my passport every time it's close to expiring and haven't gotten a Citizenship certificate - didn't have any issues with anything so far.
