Naturalization Records
In general, naturalization was a two-step process that took a
minimum of five years. After residing in the United States for two
years, an alien could file a "declaration
of intention"
("first papers") to become a citizen. After three additional years, the
alien could "petition for naturalization" (”second papers”). After the
petition was granted, a certificate
of citizenship (also
called certificate of naturalization) was issued to the new citizen.
