If you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. national and your status was not confirmed by the Social Security Administration on your
FAFSA, you may submit the following documentation to
ASU Financial Aid and Scholarship Services:
1. U.S. birth certificate showing birth in the U.S., which includes Puerto Rico (on or after 1/13/1941), Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands (on or after 1/17/1917), American Samoa, Swains Island or the Northern Mariana Islands, unless your were born to foreign diplomats residing in the U.S. If you have a birth certificate from a U.S. jurisdiction showing that you were born abroad (i.e., not in the U.S. or its territories), that birth certificate is not acceptable documentation.
2. U.S. passport current or expired, except "limited" passports. In the case of U.S. nationals who are not citizens, the passport will be stamped, "Non-citizen National." Note: If you are using your U.S. passport as both your citizenship documentation and your government-issued photo ID, the U.S. passport cannot be expired. Be sure your passport is signed on the official document signature line.
