What documents to send with N-400 application?

[icar 1]

The USCIS page only states to send:

two passport pictures

a photocopy of your greencard

and the check or money order for the fees.

It then lists other documents IF an attorney is acting on your behalf or if you are married to a citizen or if you've been arrested. What if none of those apply to me? What if I'm just an unmarried man?

Other than my greencard copy, what other copies do I need to send?

A copy of my passport?
my birth certificate?

Driver's license?

Selective service card?

Social security card?

Do I need to include a list of foreign places I've travelled to since becoming a permanent resident?

Along with the N-400 just send everything that's listed on the instructions that are relevent to you. Also send anything on the M-477 checklist that might be relevent to you. You will list the overseas places you've traveled to on the N-400.

Applying for citizenship is very simple compared to applying for visas and permanent residency...don't try to make it more complicated than you need to.

Depends under which circumstances you are applying. I applied being a 5 year resident, with no criminal records, divorce etc, and it was very straight forward, and simple.

The N-400 instructions and the M-477 checklist confirm what documents you need to send. It's a very small package compared to the one sent in for Adjustment of Status. You may require more or less documentation depending on your situation. I applied for naturalization as a 5 year PR, so I needed to send in very little additional documentation except for my divorce certificate.

Best advice: read the link, find out what applies to your situation and use that. You definitely do show where you've been outside the US as part of your application.
