What is the process of naturalization?Naturalization is the process by which an alien becomes an American citizen. It is a voluntary act; naturalization is not required. Prior to September 27, 1906, any "court of record" (municipal, county, state, or Federal) could grant United States citizenship. Often petitioners went to the court most geographically convenient for them.
Does the National Archives have a copy of the Certificate of citizenship?In most cases, the National Archives will not have a copy of the certificate of citizenship. Two copies of the certificate were created – one given to the petitioner as proof of citizenship, and, after September 26, 1906, one forwarded to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).
