Hello Everyone!

I was wondering if I need to bring my birth certificate to the naturalization interview?

Thanks!

No you don't need it.

Actually, there are a couple of cases I've read about, where it was needed. Both involved a discrepancy between the name on the green card and the name on the passport. If the two names are not exactly identical, the interview officer will ask to see either the birth certificate or a legal name change document (or marriage certificate in case of a last name change only) to determine the legal name.

That's the only situation I've come across where the birth certificate was needed.

My name on my passport and green card are slightly different. My BC was not needed nor did the interviewer ask to see it. There is no harm in bringing it with you if it will give you peace of mind, but you it's not a requirement to bring it.
