Form N-600, Application for a Certificate of Citizenship is the form issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to be used to request a Certificate of Citizenship. Those who are automatically eligible for U.S. citizenship based on their parents’ citizenship can use this form to request a citizenship certificate to prove that they are U.S. citizens.
Anyone filing this form will need to provide supporting documents to prove that they are eligible for citizenship and pay the required fee. The current filing fee for Form N-600 is $1,170.
There is no fee for members of the U.S. armed forces and veterans but they will have to submit proof of their service. But this fee applies to all those who are applying for a citizenship certificate as an adopted child of a U.S. citizen or as a child of a member of the U.S. armed forces or a veteran.
Applicants need not include a fee for biometrics services along with their application package. If they receive a notification from the USCIS later about their biometrics appointment, they can pay the additional fee for biometrics services.
The form filing fee paid with this form is non-refundable. The fee must be paid in exact amounts and cash will not be accepted. Application filing fee needs to be paid with a check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Those living outside the U.S. can contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate for information on the fee payment method.
