I got here in the states when I was 17 (still a minor) and my father is already a U.S citizen. I tried to apply for american passport last 2016 and I received a letter if I obtain my certificate of citizenship or if not I submit the following instruction such as a combination of school, tax, medical, or court documents that I am in my father’s physical and legally custody after I entered here in the states and before my 18th birthday. And second early public records issued at or near the time of my birth which shows my name and my parents name such as hospital, religious, medical or insurance records. Because the birth document I sent them was recorded more than one month after the birth occured. And if the early documents are unavailable, I may submit a DNA testing conducted by AABB testing facility.

 

So my question is, I am applying again for american passport since my green card is expiring next year’ and I am not applying for a certificate of citizenship since they said I can use my father’s citizenship as a proof. And I found a document alongside with my birth certificate are the affidavit of paternity or the document about my late registration of birth with both of my parent’s signature. 

 

Is that enough proof that I am my father’s child? because when my mom gave birth to me my dad was here in the states and they got married a year after my birth. I also have legal documents such as affidavit of legitimation. 
 

Can I submit the documents I have here like my Dad’s Citizenship, my birth certificate with the documents of affidavit, and my green card?

 

is that enough proof for me to get an american passport? 

 

Thank you, and hopefully I get a reply from you soon. 

*UPDATE

I applied my american passport yesterday’ and they got my green card from me so hopefully they will approve my application. Thank you guys so much!

It doesn't seem you're a US citizen.

You needed to live with your father in his full custody at the time he naturalized...

 

Seems like you're an LPR and need to file N-400.

also my sister and I are the same when we got here…we’re both outside the states when my dad got his citizenship’ we’re also both green card holder and when my sister and I applied a passport they got our green card. And were both minors when we got here. Just like what I’ve said the only problem is my late registration of birth cert. not unlike my sister her birth cert. were all correct that’s why she got her american passport for 5 years and she renewed her passport last 2022 for 10 years.

How do you expect to get a passport if you don't have enough proof you're a US citizen for N-600?

 

Even if you get passport now with some luck, you may face same or harder pushback in the future when you try to renew passport. You need to look into root problem, maybe hire a lawyer to help etc.

I will keep this in mind. Thank you

I'd pay the money and obtain certificate of citizenship once and for all. So you don't end up in this situation again in the future.

but can I still the do the other option right? the only reason I didn’t get my passport before is because the birth certificate I submitted was late registered and I didn’t get the chance to submit the other documents included in my birth cert.

And the thing is if I apply for a certificate of citizenship (which they said I don’t need to) I don’t have the documents they needed for that.

That’s why I am asking if I can still submit the documents I have here with me. And also getting a certificate of citizenship is too expensive.

My sister already got her american passport when we applied together. They didn’t even ask for cert. of citizenship.

Thank you
