More details about USCIS naturalization ceremonies
Preliminary preparations:
- Notification: Applicants receive a Notice of Naturalization Hearing (Form N-445) indicating the date, time, and location of the ceremony.
- Application Review: Prior to the ceremony, officials review the applicant’s application to ensure that he or she still meets all requirements.
During the ceremony:
- Registration and delivery of documents: Applicants must register, surrender any Permanent Resident Cards (Green Cards) they may have, and answer a series of questions on Form N-445.
- Welcome and speeches: The ceremony typically begins with a welcome by a USCIS officer and may include speeches by prominent figures emphasizing the importance of citizenship.
- Pledge of Allegiance: This is the crucial step where applicants take the Oath of Allegiance, renouncing their allegiance to any other country and promising to support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States.
- Delivery of the naturalization certificate: Once new citizens have taken the oath, they receive their Certificate of Naturalization, which is official proof of their new citizenship.
After the ceremony:
- Additional documentation: New citizens can receive information on how to obtain a U.S. passport, register to vote, and other civic rights and responsibilities.
- Celebration: Many ceremonies include cultural events and moments of celebration to honor the new citizens.
