What is the naturalization oath?

The Naturalization Oath is a statement that all immigrants must recite in order to become an official United States citizen. The oath is administered by a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officer as part of the naturalization process. Reciting the oath and signing the document are important steps in becoming a U.S. citizen. In California, the Naturalization Oath is sworn by all applicants for naturalization. The oath includes nine main points: renouncing any prior loyalty to a foreign nation; acknowledging the United States Constitution and the laws of the United States; taking an oath to support the U.S. Constitution; supporting and defending the Constitution and the laws of the United States; taking up arms in defense of the United States if necessary; performing noncombatant services in the Armed Forces of the United States if required; doing work of national importance under civilian direction when required; bearing true faith and allegiance to the United States; and swearing to deny allegiance to any foreign nation. The oath is a solemn promise that all naturalized citizens are required to make. It is a commitment to abide by the laws and principles of the United States, to be loyal to its government, and to serve its people. This solemn vow is a pledge of loyalty and a public declaration of one’s commitment to the United States.

El juramento de naturalización es el compromiso que los aspirantes a la ciudadanía estadounidense hacen cuando presentan su solicitud de naturalización. Al recitar el juramento de naturalización, los solicitantes de ciudadanía prometen respetar la Constitución de los Estados Unidos. El juramento es un requisito para la nacionalidad estadounidense, tanto en California como en el resto del país. El juramento de naturalización recitado en California dice así: "Yo juro solemnemente que renunciaré fielmente a cualquier lealtad o obediencia que deba a cualquier otra nación o gobierno, y que gustosamente aceptaré la Constitución de los Estados Unidos de América y defenderé fielmente a los Estados Unidos contra todos sus enemigos, sea cual sea su nación, que esté a mi cargo.” Los candidatos a la ciudadanía también deben aceptar el principio de obedecer las leyes de los Estados Unidos. Esto significa que los solicitantes deben estar dispuestos a respetar lo establecido en la Constitución de los Estados Unidos y a cumplir sus leyes. Así mismo, los candidatos a la ciudadanía deben comprometerse a proteger y defender la Constitución y la soberanía de los Estados Unidos.
