US Citizenship & Naturalization

Unless born in the US or born abroad to US citizen parents, individuals obtain US citizenship through a process called naturalization. For most, the US Citizenship & Naturalization process requires that the applicant first obtain and retain lawful permanent residence “green card” status for a period of five years prior to submitting a US citizenship application. Applicants must meet other naturalization requirements, such as physical presence and good moral character, and pass a basic English and civics test.
