Can I apply for citizenship through my parents?

Yes, in some cases you may acquire or derive U.S. citizenship through your parents, depending on your age, your parents' status, and your residency.

You might already be a citizen if at least one parent was a U.S. citizen at your birth and met residency requirements.

If you're a green card holder under 18 and your parent naturalizes, you may automatically become a U.S. citizen.

If you believe you already acquired citizenship through your parents, you can apply for a Certificate of Citizenship with Form N-600.
