Obtaining a passport due to Child Citizenship Act of 2000

This is a weird situation, but I just recently found out about the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, which gave citizenship as long as:

"The child must have at least one U.S. citizen parent by birth or naturalization, be under 18 years of age (at the time the law took effect, the child had to be born no earlier than February 27, 1983), live in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent, and be admitted as an immigrant for lawful permanent residence."

I meet all those standards, being born on 4/14/83, having been in U.S since 89 and both my parents were citizen at the time. So yeah, I been technically a citizen for 18 years and never realized it.

It looks like the easiest way to prove I'm a citizen is by getting a passport, there's even a section on the U.S travel website devoted to that. Just wondering if any of you all had done, anything I need to look out for or make sure I have, etc.

yeah you are right, so you're not asking for anything more like sharing what you have discovered?

Sorry, should have been clearer.

Wanted to make sure I understood the process right, and if anyone had gone through it?
