Are you applying to become a citizen of the United States and wondering about the documents for citizenship interview that you need to take with you? Here is a list of documents that you will need to take with you:
The very first document you need to take with you is a state-issued identification like a driver's license. This document is used to confirm your identity.
You then need to prove your residency. For this, you take your green card or form I551 to prove that you are a resident of the United States.
You also need to take all the passports you have since you became a US resident. The officer will look through them to ensure you have traveled within the permissible range and have not taken residency in another country.
You will need your tax returns since you became a resident to show that you have been meeting your financial obligations to the United States by paying taxes.
If you are applying for naturalization through marriage, you need to take proof that your spouse has been a US citizen for over 3 years. If you are divorced or have remarried, you will need to take documents to show your current marital status. If you are married, you will need to take proof for any previous divorce that demonstrates that the marriage ended legally.
If you changed your name, you will need to take the court order that authorizes you to change your name.
If the naturalization office asked you to bring any other documents, be sure to take them with you as well.
That is it. These are all the documents you need to take with you. Make sure to bring all the documents in the original because the office does not accept copies as proof. If you have any documents in another language you need to get them translated and the translator needs to certify that they qualify to translate.
