Citizenship identifies an individual's national origin. It defines his/her rights and responsibilities to that country (nationality). Most people have only one country of citizenship, but some can have dual nationality. U.S. citizens can be native-born, foreign-born, or naturalized. They owe their allegiance to the United States and are entitled to its protection.
To become a U.S. citizen, you must:
- Meet certain eligibility requirements.
- Be a legal permanent resident of the United States.
- Go through the naturalization process (PDF, Download Adobe Reader)
