Hi,

Not necessarily, please read the following from USCIS website:

Document Checklist for Form N-400, Application for Naturalization

All Applicants for Naturalization must send the following items with their N-400 application:

A photocopy of both sides of your Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as the Alien Registration Card or "Green Card"). If you have lost the card, submit a photocopy of the receipt for your Form I-90, "Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card"; and

Two identical color photographs, with your name and "A-number" written lightly in pencil on the back of each photo. For details about the photo requirements, see Part 5 of A Guide to Naturalization and the Form M-603 instructions. Do not wear eyeglasses or earrings for the photo. If your religion requires you to wear a head covering, your facial features must still be exposed in the photo for purposes of identification; and

A check or money order for the application fee and the biometric services fee (Applicants 75 years of age or older are exempted from the biometrics services fee). Write your "A-number" on the back of the check or money order. The application fee is $595 and the biometrics services fee is $80. You may combine the fees into one check or money order. Make your check or money order payable to "U.S. Department of Homeland Security."

Where does it say anything about joint ownership, joint insurance, or even utility bills? But know of several people that were delayed with an RFE for not providing this information.

During our AOS, certainly couldn't provide tax returns, deed to my home, other joint ownership, insurance, bank accounts, or any other proof that we were living together, because we weren't. But sure did a lot of background information and lots of proof that we were free to marry and that I was a USC.

Didn't ask for proof to marry nor that I was a USC for the I-751, but sure wanted tons of proof that we were living together.

Would have to say the N-400 was a combination of both the AOS and the I-751 in terms of proof of living together, being free to marry, and the USC of the spouse. And since they want a copy of that green card, how to you suppose we got that?
