Citizenship Proof - Birth certificate or passport

[rebelgods 0]

Hello,

 

I am gathering my documentation for submissions and have a question about the proof of citizenship. I do not have an original birth certificate and would need to order a copy which would take some time. I do have a valid passort with 5+ years validity, but wanted to confirm which passport pages to scan.

 

My assumption was the main two information pages, but on the website here it says to scan ALL pages, which would be 100+ for me. Do I really need to scan and include every single page of my passport?

 

    Copy of the Birth certificate (front and back) for the US Citizen or a copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport issued with a validity of at least 5 years or a copy of the US Citizen's naturalization certificate (front and back). This is used to establish citizenship.

When in doubt, read the current form instructions.   The ALL pages reference was deleted 3 years ago.

No.  For the proof of citizenship, you only need a copy of the passport bio page.

Thanks! Could you point me to the current form instructions where it clarifies this? Want to make sure I am referencing the appropriate resource.

Impossible to point you to something that doesn't exist anymore

Oh... I thought you were saying the current form instructions state the bio. Yeah I guess the K1 guide needs to be updated

Now it says provide a copy of your passport,  it used to say provide a copy of all pages of your passport.

Hello!

The bio pages will suffice.

Have a great journey.
