State ID for 319(b) Naturalization

[LexChloe 0]

Does any know if one needs to belong to a State or have State ID before the Naturalization Interview? I applied Under 319(B) from overseas, I have never lived in the US.

I don't believe so. The PR must be willing to declare that he or she will take up residency with the US citizen spouse in the USA, see here for more information...

Moving to the US Citizenship forum as OP is applying for citizenship.

Hubby had state ID and driving license issued by a state other than the one in which he resided at the time he applied for citizenship. Has been required to obtain a state ID and/or DL in the state he is residing, before approval of its naturalization application (that was what the interviewing officer requested from him, at the naturalization interview).

But if you accompany your spouse, and reside outside US, I guess you don't need.

You probably know this already, but I wanted to tell you anyways, just in case you're not aware of this: You will lose your German citizenship if you become an American citizen and don't have a "Beibehaltungsgenehmigung".

Good luck on your application!
