District Court (Fifth District : Iron County)

Comprised of one book that contains federal forms filled out by both the applicant and a witness as part of the naturalization process.

These books contain completed federal naturalization forms. These petitions are filed by individuals declaring their intention to become U.S. citizens and who have met the residency requirements to make formal application for U.S. citizenship. A petition is the final step in becoming a United State citizen. It includes the the individual's name, residence, occupation, birth date and place; the place emigrated from; date and place of arrival, and vessel name; date and court of declaration of intention; spouse's name, birthplace, and residence; children's names, birth dates, birthplaces, and residences; and any previous applications filed. Also included are the affidavits of two witnesses, the oath of allegiance, and a court order admitting the person to citizenship.

This series contains a single book used to document the application of individuals for citizenship. Applicants typically filed a declaration of intention to become a citizen at least two years prior to applying for citizenship. This book contains forms for the application process, including an affidavit from the applicant declaring his desire to become a citizen and renouncing allegiance to any foreign power. The process also required affidavits from two citizens attesting to the applicant fitness to become a citizen. If the applicant qualified, the judge would sign a form granting him citizenship. In addition to details of the requirements for citizenship, the records contains such information as the birth place and date of the applicant, and the year he arrived in the United States.
