Experienced Guidance for N-600 and U.S. Passport Applications

If you qualify, you must file Form N-600 (Application for Certificate of Citizenship) to establish your U.S. citizen status. The Certificate of Citizenship makes you eligible for all U.S. citizen privileges, including a U.S. passport and the right to assistance from a U.S. embassy or consulate when traveling abroad.
