naturalization papers
Immigrant's official papers
Naturalization papers are the official documents certifying that someone has become a citizen of a country they weren't born in.
In the United States, this typically refers to the Certificate of Naturalization issued after completing the citizenship process: My grandmother kept her naturalization papers in a fireproof box.
The term often appears in historical contexts, particularly regarding immigration.
