The Oath of Citizenship
I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely
and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any
foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which
I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and
defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against
all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United
States when required by law; that I will perform noncombatant service
in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law;
that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction
when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without
any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. In acknowledgement
whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.
In some cases, INS allows the oath to be taken
without the clauses:
"… that I will bear arms on behalf
of the United States when required by law; that I will perform non-combatant
service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by
law…"
More information on the Oath of Allegiance can
be found in the Code
of Federal Regulations, Title 8 (Aliens and Nationality), Chapter
I, Part 337 (8CFR337).
