N-400 for whole family?

[TLongTLong]

Hi, I was on the forum five years ago and I got a lot help from you nice people for my Green Card approval. Now it time to file N-400. Hard to believe how fast time goes!
My question is: should I file one N-400 form for my whole family (wife and a daughter of 16 years old) or do we have to file more than one N-400 form for each or us?

Thank you very much!

you need to file a different n 400 for you and your wife,with seperate checks,though u can send both applications in same package.and for your daughter,u dont need to file n 400,if she is younger then 18,n 600,she directly gets her certificate without an interview.but it can be done only after one of you become citizen(either one of parents has to be citizens,to file for child below 18)

One N-400 for each adult, none for children under 18.

When you complete the process and become a US citizen, children under 18 will automatically derive citizenship through you and/or your spouse, if they meet the relevant conditions of the Child Citizenship Act (having a green card, living in the US in your custody). However, documentation of the children's citizenship is not automatic, so after your naturalization you will then have to apply for their US passport and/or N-600 certificate in order for them to have official proof of citizenship.
