The only way I know of to verify U.S. citizenship is a passport. Obviously, most U.S. citizens do not have a passport, so I would be very skeptical of any data base claiming to be able to do this.

Ken, an original birth certificate would work, unless they were naturalized citizens. There is no database for this, either.

I agree, I am not a US citizen, but have SSN, and credit record history, own real property and vehicles, and have utility services such that the only things that I don't have are a US passport (not yet, anyway), and a US birth certificate.

Do you have a "green card" yet?

I think she was just being nice. You at one time said that you had one, it was not in your possession and that it was a long story.

I forgot about the green card story in the past! It's been a while since I worked in NYC and half the staff had green cards. I was trying to equate green card with passport!
