How can I verify my citizenship status?

Verifying your citizenship status in the Commonwealth of Virginia is relatively straightforward. Generally, you will need to provide proof of your citizenship to a government agency in order to receive a benefit or other service that requires it. The easiest way to verify citizenship is to present a valid, unexpired U.S. passport, which is accepted by all federal, state, and local government agencies as proof of U.S. citizenship. If you don’t have a passport, then you will have to find other acceptable forms of identification. Acceptable forms of identification may include a valid, unexpired Permanent Resident Card (green card), a valid, unexpired Certificate of Naturalization, a valid, unexpired Foreign Passport with an I-94 that shows the bearer is a Lawful Permanent Resident, or a valid, unexpired Re-entry Permit. In addition, you may be able to prove your citizenship with documents such as a birth certificate, a Tribal identification card, or an affidavit from a family member who can provide proof of your citizenship. If you are in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen, then you may be able to use documents such as an I-797 form or an evidence of application of U.S. citizenship. Finally, if you are not able to verify your citizenship status through documents and identification, then you may need to take a citizenship test. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) administers a naturalization test to assess the applicant’s knowledge and understanding of the English language and basic concepts of U.S. history and government.
