Translations. If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English

translation. The translator must sign a certification that the English language translation is complete and accurate, and that

he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. The certification should also include the date,

the translator’s signature and printed name, and may contain the translator’s contact information.

How To Fill Out Form N-600K

1. Type or print legibly in black ink.

2. If you need extra space to complete any item within this application, use the space provided in Part 11. Additional

Information or attach a separate sheet of paper; type or print the child’s name and Alien Registration Number

(A-Number) (if any) at the top of each sheet; indicate the Page Number, Part Number, and Item Number to which

your answer refers; and sign and date each sheet.

3. Answer all questions fully and accurately. If a question does not apply to you (for example, if you have never been

married and the question asks, “Provide the name of your current spouse”), type or print “N/A,” unless otherwise

directed. If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none (for example, “How many

children do you have” or “How many times have you departed the United States”), type or print “None,” unless

otherwise directed.

4. Avoid highlighting, crossing out, or writing outside the area provided for a response. Do not use highlighters

on Form N-600K as our scanners turn highlighted areas black, making them unreadable. If the person filing this

form must edit the form, USCIS recommends beginning with a new Form N-600K, rather than trying to white

out information. USCIS scanners may see through the white correction tape or fluid and make the form incorrect,

possibly leading to processing delays or rejection.

5. Provide the child’s A-Number on the top right corner of each page (if applicable). The A-Number is located on

the Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as the Alien Registration or “Green” Card). The A-Number on the

card consists of seven to nine numbers, depending on when the record was created. If the A-Number on the card

has fewer than nine numbers, place enough zeros before the first number to make a total of nine numbers on Form

N-600K. For example, type or print number A1234567 as A001234567 or type or print number A12345678 as

A012345678.
