language about the principal requirements for naturalization;

the special classes of persons who are exempt from some of

those requirements; and what a person must do to become a

naturalized citizen of the United States. It also includes a

brief discussion on how to obtain a copy of a naturalization or

citizenship paper (part 5); how to file a declaration of

intention (part 6); how to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship

(part 7); and how to legalize an alien's residence in the

United States so that he or she may be able to apply for

naturalization (part 8).

The naturalization laws equally apply to both men and

women and to all races. All persons follow the same procedures

and become naturalized citizens of the United States in the

same way.

An alien living in the United States must keep the

Immigration and Naturalization Service informed of changes in

his or her address. A lawful permanent resident is given an

Alien Registration Receipt Card. This card has a number on it

which should be shown in all applications and when writing to

the Immigration and Naturalization Service about a case.
