The child must have at least one U.S. citizen parent by birth or naturalization; be under 18 years of age; live in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent; and be admitted as an immigrant for lawful permanent residence. In addition, if the child is adopted, the adoption must be full and final. The effective date of the Child Citizenship Act is February 27, 2001. Children who met the requirements of the Act on that date automatically became U.S. citizens. Children who were 18 years of age or older on that date did not acquire U.S. citizenship from the Child Citizenship Act of 2000. The Act is known as Public Law 106-395. EXTERNAL LINKS
