West Virginia Naturalization Records

Naturalization Certificate

Naturalization in the U.S. involved a two-step process: the Declaration of Intent (First Papers) and the Naturalization Record (Final Papers). Typically, First Papers were filed five years before Final Papers due to residency requirements. Before 1906, records were decentralized, but federal forms standardized the process. These naturalization records are accessible through Ancestry (paid) and Family Search (free), with various records spanning from 1814 to 1991, including numerous county-specific documents throughout West Virginia.
