When you become a U.S. Citizen, your children under 18 will become U.S. Citizens at the same time. 

But you need to fill out and file Form N-600 Application (certificate of citizenship) for them. 

I-485 (AOS)

04/01/2015 Sent Form I-485.

05/06/2015 Scheduled the interview and mailed its notice.

06/21/2018 The combo interview (with N-400 interview). But it's still pending until they send me the result of this interview.

Or he can go apply for a passport for the children.  Form N-600 costs over $1000 and doesn't get you anything a passport wouldn't.

Really? I thought that he can't apply for their passports (the children) without their certificates of citizenship! I thought he must bring a proof of their citizenships, and it would be a proof as when he will apply for his passport he must bring his certificate of naturalization. 

Thank you.

Thank you. 

The parent's naturalization certificate and a few other supporting documents listed here (see U.S. Citizenship through Naturalization of a Parent) will be enough: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/requirements/citizenship-evidence.html

A US passport is the best proof of citizenship according to USCIS:

 

Quote

Your U.S. passport is your best proof of U.S. citizenship. Other official documents can be used, as described below.

So no, your son won't need a citizenship certificate for anything as long as he has his passport.

Did you read that page?

Ya to show around a passport but what if it expires not everyone needs one then what? 

Sooner or later that boy may need proof.

Always err on the side of caution
