The passport is just proof of your US citizenship. You already became a US citizen the moment you met all 4 conditions above. 

 I don’t quite understand what you mean by you met all four condition above

So you have a US passport? Then you’re a US citizen. The US passport is proof of US citizenship. Sorry, I didn’t understand what “become a citizen through passport” is.

No, I don’t have my passport yet. I was told that you can get your citizenship through passport. As long as you can proof that your parents are both citizens before I was 18.

The naturalization certificate is optional. Other than mounting it on a wall somewhere to show, the passport is a much faster process to get a more useful document proving US citizenship.

Thank you

You already are a an american citizen ,because your parents were American citizen before you were 18 , while you were a LPR and you were in their care . 

The passport is the proof of your citizenship . 

What is LPR? Sadly when my parents became America citizens they didn’t know that they could make me a citizens also.

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

So basically the answer is No you can’t became an American citizen through pastport , even when you are Permanent Legal resident and both of your parents become American citizens before you were 18
