Hi,
I was made a naturalized citizen since my parents got naturalized and I was under 18. Now I have applied and received a passport with no problems but never anything else. I need my citizenship cert number very urgently but to my dismay this is not in my passport.
How can I quickly just find this number?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
If you never had a citizenship certificate then you need to apply for one to get a number.

the process I believe is the N-600, but others may be more helpful with that info.

HTH :)
 
Yes, you never had a certificate so you can not have a certificate number. What kind of paperwork is asking you for this, and why isn't there another way around? People have to be educated that derivative citizens don't get certificates automatically. Whatever thing you are doing has been thought for naturalized citizens. The information prithis and other have provided you is correct.

Good luck.
 
Looks like many institutions are unaware of the child citizenship act and of the fact that children can automatically derive citizenship from their parents under certain circumstances. These institutions need to be educated in the correct law and if they make unreasonable demand on citizenship documentation it might be a good idea to show them the text of the law. If that does not satisfy them take it up a notch higher by contacting a supervisor or manager. A US passport is a definitive proof of US citizenship and no other documentation can be asked for to prove citizenship.
 
It would have been nice if the OP had replied to answer the question of who wants this "number", this would have enlightened us.

But it seems OP is not coming back :-(

That's true, at least we will know if it's necessary to apply a citizenship certificate by paying much $$$.
 
The I-130 asks for naturalization certificate number. Could be the OP is trying to sponsor a relative.

One good example why one should post as much details as possible when asking for advices.

If that's the reason he needs the number, we could've advised him that it's not necessary. I think there's a part where the form asks if you were naturalized through your parents and if yes, if you have a certificate or not.
