About this service

Form N-400 is the application eligible lawful permanent residents file to become U.S. citizens through naturalization. Eligibility generally turns on continuous residency, physical presence in the U.S., and good moral character standards set by USCIS, and the application itself asks in detail about your residency history, travel outside the U.S., and personal background over several years. Because a single unreported trip or inconsistent date can create problems at the interview, accuracy in reconstructing your history matters as much as the form itself. DocPrep helps you organize your residency and travel history into a clear, consistent record and prepares Form N-400 from the information you provide; we also give you general information about what to expect at the naturalization interview, though we don't administer the civics or English test.

Who this may apply to

  • Lawful permanent residents who meet the continuous residency and physical presence requirements
  • Applicants with a long or complicated travel history who need help reconstructing accurate dates
  • Individuals preparing for the naturalization interview and civics test who want their paperwork in order beforehand

What DocPrep can help prepare

  • Preparing Form N-400 based on your residency, travel, and personal history
  • Organizing supporting documents needed for filing
  • Reconciling travel dates and trip lengths into a consistent, accurate record
  • Providing general information about what to expect during the interview process

How it works

  1. 1

    Confirm basic eligibility timeline

    We review the residency and physical presence dates you provide against the general naturalization timeline requirements.

  2. 2

    Reconstruct your travel history

    You provide your trips outside the U.S., and we help organize them into the dates and durations the form requires.

  3. 3

    Gather supporting documents

    We identify which supporting documents apply to your situation, such as your Green Card and any relevant civil records.

  4. 4

    Prepare the application

    We prepare Form N-400 from your confirmed residency, travel, and background information.

  5. 5

    Review before filing

    We go through the completed application with you and share general information about the interview process.

Documents you may need

Requirements vary depending on your situation. Commonly requested information may include:

  • Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)
  • Complete list of trips outside the U.S. since becoming a permanent resident, with dates
  • Marriage certificate and spouse's citizenship information, if applying based on marriage to a U.S. citizen
  • Tax filing history for the qualifying period
  • Any court or arrest records, if applicable, regardless of outcome

Important notes

  • Eligibility requirements — continuous residency, physical presence, and good moral character — are set by USCIS, and we prepare your filing based on the history you provide rather than making an independent eligibility determination.
  • DocPrep does not administer the civics or English test and does not provide test tutoring; use official USCIS study materials to prepare for those portions of the interview.
  • We do not guarantee application approval.
