(4,137 posts)25. If your boyfriend was naturalized he would have a certificate to prove it.
I know as I have one myself (dual US/UK). I took the test in 1985. At the time, it was 10 questions administered orally at the county courthouse. Later, there was a swearing in ceremony by a judge in the same courthouse. There are copies of these documents so you can always request one if you lose the original.
Did he never get a US Passport? That's automatic proof of US citizenship. Why would Germany take him if he doesn't have a German Passport? And why would he agree to leave the country if he has US citizenship? It's a lot harder to get in than to not get kicked out. My guess is he was never naturalized, but something about this story stinks.
