 It might take a few months. You don’t even need to apply for that, you can just apply for your kid’s US passport.

I had the same question, the immigration officer that did my interview told me that there are 2 ways to certify the child is a citizen 1) the most expensive is doing the N600 which is about $1,200 and takes about 5-6 months; 2) easiest and less expensive option is to apply to a US passport for your child using your naturalization certificate and their birth certificate. You can either do it directly sending a passport application at the USPS office, or you can fond out if there are local appointments in your county where you could submit all documentation in person. The price for a passport application is about $60. I am choosing this option, and would later apply with N600

Please can somebody explain it better? Now I am very confused!

Right now I am applying for citizenship and I have an 11 year old daughter, she is a green card holder since 2013.

I am planning to send her N-600 right after I become a citizen... So can she apply for a US Passport before having a citizenship certificate? What?

Yes your daughter can apply for U.S. Passport using your citizenship. I just apply one last Friday for my son. He was able to claim citizenship through my citizenship. However I had to fill up a form stating I have no contact of his dad whereabout since 2 parents has to be present when applying for passport. (unless the bilogical’s dad is not on the birthcertificate).

Thank you so much! I am very happy to hear that!

Yes, her biological father's name is in her birth certificate but I have documentation of her full legal custody... I haven't had contact with him in 10 years, I will just have to get it translated to English.

Thank you so much for the information.

Yes you can. However if the bio-father is on the birth certificate you would need a court order ( translated in English) stating you have the sole legal custody. If you didn’t have this, you will be required to have a notice letter from the father ( If not in the US he would need to go to a US embassy of the country where he reside to do nototrized allowing you to apply the passport by yourself). If you don’t have any contact info like me.. then you would need to fill up the form DS-5525 and fill up as much as possible. 

 

Good luck
