Dual Citizenship Application Questions

[Bugs 455]

My wife got her US citizenship over the summer and is planning on getting her dual citizenship through the Philippine consular outreach when it travels into town next month.

 

Requirements include a filled out application and a submission of a PDF of the filled out application ahead of time via  email, along with supporting documents.   

 

We have some specific questions about some of the sections on the application.  Perhaps one who recently filled out an application can help us:

 

Question 2d asks for supporting document of name change.  Do we put "marriage certificate"? And does this mean we need to include the marriage certificate among the supporting documentation?  (It wasn't listed.)

 

Question 13b asks for mode of acquisition of foreign citizenship.  Do we put "US Naturalization Ceremony"?

 

Question 17 asks for Philippine permanent address.  She is living here in the US as a permanent US citizen, so what does she put?

 

Does she sign and date the application certification on page 2 now before sending the PDF via email, or leave that blank and sign at the consular outreach?

 

Thank you for your help.

YES include a copy of the marriage certificate (must present original at the outreach event), it is listed on the Embassy website instructions.  I will include links

 

Question 13b asks for mode of acquisition of foreign citizenship.  Do we put "US Naturalization Ceremony"?

Seems you are using a different form that what the Embassy has posted.   Item 12 offers a box to check  NATURALIZATION.

 

Question 17 asks for Philippine permanent address.  She is living here in the US as a permanent US citizen, so what does she put?

U.S. address

 

 

Does she sign and date the application certification on page 2 now before sending the PDF via email, or leave that blank and sign at the consular outreach?

To be signed in front of the officiating officer, or notary (the way the form reads) .   My wife signed before, I never asked if she signed the form again later .. not a major deal if they wanted it signed again  

 

Thank you for your help.

Thanks Hank.  However, I am using the same application.  My question was about 13b, where it asks for "Mode of Aquisition of FOREIGN Citizenship".  Question 12 asks about initial PHILIPPINE. Citizenship.  Either way, you answered my question, as I will put Naturalization.

 

Regarding question 17, I am puzzled as to why I would put our US address when the question asks for the "PHILIPPINE Permanent Address".  The next question (question 18) asks for the US address.

 

Also, the D.C. Embassy and the Los Angeles Embassy, whom we are doing it through, apparently have differing documentation requirements:
