Can I apply for a U.S. passport if I’m currently undocumented in the U.S.?
A: Yes, you can apply for a U.S. passport if you meet citizenship-at-birth requirements. This applies even if you are currently undocumented. Your current immigration status does not affect your ability to claim U.S. citizenship if you are eligible.
