Naturalization

Read a random definition: local law

A quick definition of Naturalization:

Naturalization is the process of becoming a citizen of the United States if you were not born here. To become a citizen, you must be at least 18 years old and meet certain requirements. You must be able to speak, read, and write in English, know some basic U.S. history and government, and have lived in the U.S. legally for at least five years. You must also be a good person who follows the law and likes the United States. If you meet all the requirements, you can become a citizen and have all the rights and responsibilities that come with it.

A more thorough explanation:

Naturalization is the process of becoming a citizen of the United States if you were not born here. To become a citizen, you must meet certain requirements:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Pass an English literacy test, unless you have a disability that prevents you from doing so
  • Have knowledge of basic United States history and the government system
  • Have lived in the United States lawfully for at least five years, with at least half of that time physically present in the country
  • Have good moral character, meaning you have not committed any serious crimes or engaged in behavior that goes against American values
  • Have an attachment to the United States Constitution and a favorable disposition toward the country

For example, if someone from another country has been living in the United States for five years and has not committed any crimes, they may be eligible to become a citizen through naturalization. They would need to pass an English and civics test and show that they have a good moral character and a positive attitude toward the United States.
