If an applicant claims to be a United States citizen and this claim is not disputed, what must the applicant provide?

When an applicant claims to be a United States citizen and this claim is not disputed, no verification is required. This means that if the assertion of citizenship is accepted without challenge, the applicant does not need to provide any additional documentation such as proof of citizenship, a social security number, or an identification card.

This approach streamlines the application process for individuals who are citizens since the verification of citizenship can be a lengthy and complex procedure. It recognizes that, in straightforward cases where there is no contesting of the citizenship claim, administrative efficiency can be upheld by waiving the need for supplementary proof. This policy simplifies the administrative burden on both the applicants and the agencies involved, allowing for more straightforward processing of applications.
