Children, Naturalized Citizens & U.S. Residents
Who Can Become a State National — and How to Do It Lawfully
Understanding the Differences
One of the most common questions people have when learning about reclaiming their lawful status is whether a child, a naturalized citizen, or a U.S. resident can also become a State National.
The answer depends on several factors, including a person’s current legal status, how their citizenship was established, and whether there is a contractual relationship that can be lawfully repudiated or revoked.
Understanding these distinctions is important for:
-
parents seeking to correct their child’s status
-
naturalized citizens who want to reclaim their lawful standing
-
U.S. residents who are exploring whether this path is available to them
Children Born in the United States
If a child is born within one of the 50 states of the constitutional republic, the process is generally similar to that of their parents.
Parents or legal guardians may complete an Affidavit of Repudiation (AOR) on the child’s behalf, establishing that they do not consent to their child being recognized solely as a corporate entity under federal jurisdiction.
Age-Based Signing Requirements
The process varies depending on the child’s age:
Ages 0–7
Only the parents or legal guardians sign the AOR.
Ages 8–17
Both the parents and the child sign the AOR.
If a child has two legal guardians, both must agree and sign the documentation. If one parent or guardian refuses to sign, the AOR cannot be completed for the child at that time. In that situation, the child may choose to complete the process independently once they turn 18 years old.
Additional Considerations for Children
Children may also have additional State National paperwork completed on their behalf, or parents may choose to wait until the child becomes an adult and can manage the process personally.
Some steps may apply immediately, while others may not be necessary until later in life.
For example, children may:
-
obtain a State National passport
-
double authenticate their birth certificate
However, they typically do not need to revoke a marriage certificate or birth certificate signature unless they later become parents themselves.
Child-specific AOR documents are available within the State Nationals Rock™ membership and AOR packages to assist parents in navigating the process.
Naturalized Citizens
(People Born Outside the United States With U.S. Citizenship)
Individuals who were born outside the United States but later became naturalized U.S. citizens may also pursue the State National process.
While the process differs slightly from that of individuals born in the United States, it is still possible to complete.
When someone becomes a naturalized citizen, they enter into a contractual relationship with the U.S. government. This relationship establishes their citizenship status under federal jurisdiction.
Because the relationship is contractual in nature, supporters of the process believe it can be repudiated and revoked through the AOR process, similar to those born within the United States.
When naturalization occurs:
-
the individual’s original nationality from their birth country is acknowledged
-
a new contractual relationship with the United States is created
Through the AOR process, naturalized citizens may choose to revoke that contractual status while maintaining the ability to use their legal name for commercial purposes if necessary.
The AOR documentation for naturalized citizens differs slightly from the version used by individuals born in the United States. Specific versions of these documents are provided through the State Nationals Rock™ membership and AOR packages.
This process can also apply to naturalized children, provided that their legal guardians consent to completing the documentation.
U.S. Residents
(Individuals Living in the U.S. Without U.S. Citizenship)
For individuals who live in the United States but are not U.S. citizens, such as Green Card holders or visa holders, the AOR process is currently not available.
The reason is that U.S. residents do not have the same contractual citizenship relationship with the federal government that citizens do.
Their birth certificates remain connected to their country of origin, and their legal identity has not been transferred into the U.S. system in the same way as a naturalized citizen.
Because of this, there is no corporate citizenship contract to revoke, which means there is currently no established process for residents to become State Nationals.
Attempting to complete the AOR without citizenship may create legal complications, including potential immigration consequences.
At this time, the commonly suggested path for residents who wish to pursue this process is:
-
first become a naturalized U.S. citizen
-
then complete the AOR process afterward
Attempts to bypass this sequence have not yet produced successful results, so the process remains under review until a lawful method is discovered.
Understanding the Path
Whether someone is born in the United States, naturalized as a citizen, or residing in the country without citizenship, the ability to become a State National depends on whether a contractual citizenship status exists that can be repudiated and revoked.
Summary
Children born in the United States
May follow the same process as their parents if all legal guardians agree.
Naturalized citizens
May complete a slightly modified version of the AOR process.
U.S. residents without citizenship
Currently cannot complete the process unless they first become naturalized citizens.
Understanding these distinctions helps individuals determine the appropriate path for their situation.
