I am planning to file my dauther N-600 first then after one week apply for passport. I just wanted findout what are documents are required.

Below information I got from http://travel.state.gov. But just wanted to confirm from some one who did.


If you claim citizenship through birth abroad to U.S. citizen parent(s), but cannot submit a Consular Report of Birth Abroad or Certification of Birth, you must submit all of the following:

Your foreign birth certificate (translated to English)
Evidence of citizenship of your U.S. citizen parent
Your parents' marriage certificate
An statement of your U.S. citizen parent detailing all periods and places of residence or physical presence in the United States and abroad before your birth
 
The state.gov web site doesn't give adequate information for children with derivative citizenship.

For children who derived citizenship through their parent(s) but don't yet have N-600, the supporting documents for the passport are the same as for the N-600. The difference is that the passport application requires original documents whereas the N-600 only requires copies (but they may ask to see the originals at the end of the process).

1) The state.gov instructions you quote above apply to the cases where the child was born abroad to U.S. citizen parent(s), that is, in the situation where one or both of the child's parents were U.S. citizens at the time of the child's birth.


2) If that is not the case and the parent(s) became U.S. citizen(s) after the child's birth, a different set of rules and documentary requirements applies, currently governed by the Child Citizenship Act.

Which of the two situations above are you asking about?
 
My child was born in 1998 when we were not US Citizen. We become US citizen last month. and my child is NOT US citizen. There are two way
1> File N-600
2> apply for passport

I will file N-600 first and after two weeks apply for passport.

So what documents are require to apply for passport for child for US citizen parent ?

Assuming that your child has a green card and is currently residing with you in the U.S., the documents required for a passport application are basically the same as for N-600. The only difference is that you don't sent any originals with an N-600 application, while you will have to provide some originals with a passport application.


So, for a passport application for your child you will need:

1) Come in person, with your spouse and your child, to a passport application center - either at a post office or at a passport agency.

2) Bring the originals of yours and your spouse's naturalization certificates (at least one of these originals will be taken when you submit the passport application but it will be mailed back to you later)

3) The child's green card (also make a copy for yourself, just in case, since they may take the original with the passport application; and I am not sure if they return the GC to you in such cases)

4) The child's birth certificate and its copy; if the original is not in English, also get a certified translation

5) The marriage license for your marriage and its copy; again, the original is not in English, also get a certified translation.

6) Some proof that the child is currently physically residing with you in the U.S. - e.g. child's school records

7) An additional ID for your child - such as a school ID, and its photocopy

8) Some IDs for yourself and your spouse (e.g. driver's licenses or U.S. passports) and their photocopies

9) A completed form DS-11 for the child.

10) two passport photos for the child
