How do you get citizenship?

In: Immigration [Edit categories]

Answer:

through naturalization.

More info:

Anyone born in the US is a citizen by birth. Other than this a person can acquire or derive citizenship.

A child born abroad to US citizen parent or parents is a citizen of the US as long as a few eligibility conditions are met by the parents. This birth can be recorded within 5 years at the Consulate abroad. The document issued at registration is proof of the child's citizenship. The child can also get a Certificate of Citizenship and a US passport as further proof.

When the parents naturalize as US citizens, any child they have below the age of 18 and having a green card is automatically granted citizenship. This child will have to get a Certificate of Citizenship and a US passport as proof of US citizenship.
