Application for Citizenship Certificate N-600 Attorney In Durham, North Carolina
Proof of U.S. Citizenship Matters More Than You Think
Many people are already U.S. citizens but do not have the documents they need to prove it. This can create serious problems when applying for a passport, renewing identification, enrolling in school, applying for government benefits, or handling other important life events. If you obtained U.S. citizenship through your parents, you may be a citizen automatically under the law—but you may still need official proof.
Form N-600, the Application for Certificate of Citizenship, is used to request a Certificate of Citizenship from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This certificate can serve as permanent proof of citizenship and can be especially important for individuals who became citizens automatically through a U.S. citizen parent, or through the naturalization of a parent while they were still minors.
At Herhusky Law Office, PLLC, we help families across North Carolina confirm citizenship eligibility and prepare N-600 applications carefully. We understand how important it is to get it right, because delays and requests for additional evidence can create unnecessary stress and setbacks.
What Is Form N-600 and Who Should File It?
Form N-600 is not a naturalization application. It does not “make” someone a U.S. citizen. Instead, it is used when someone is already a citizen under U.S. law and needs formal documentation confirming that status. This often applies to individuals who derived citizenship through a parent, including children born outside the United States who later became citizens after meeting legal requirements.
Families often consider filing an N-600 when a child has a green card and one or both parents become U.S. citizens, or when a child was born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent and needs formal recognition of citizenship. In many cases, citizenship may be automatic, but USCIS still requires strong documentation to issue a Certificate of Citizenship.
Because citizenship laws can be complex and depend on dates, legal custody, physical presence, and immigration history, it is important to review the facts carefully before filing. Herhusky Law Office, PLLC
helps clients understand whether N-600 is the right option and what evidence will be needed to support the application.

The N-600 Process: Evidence, Accuracy, and Avoiding Delays
USCIS will not approve an N-600 application without clear proof that the applicant meets the legal requirements for citizenship. This means the application must be supported by detailed documentation, and the information must match the applicant’s immigration and family history. Even small inconsistencies, missing documents, or unclear timelines can lead to delays or denials.
N-600 applications often involve gathering records such as birth certificates, green cards, parent naturalization certificates, marriage or divorce records, custody documents, and proof of residence. The application also requires careful attention to legal details, including how and when the applicant became a citizen.
