This bill, titled the "Citizenship for International Adoptees Act of 2026," aims to provide a mechanism for certain individuals born outside the United States who were internationally adopted to automatically acquire U.S. citizenship. Under this legislation, citizenship would be granted 120 days after the bill's enactment to individuals who meet specific conditions, including being adopted by a U.S. citizen before reaching 18 years of age and having been lawfully admitted to the U.S. for the purpose of adoption. To qualify, the adopted individual must also have been physically present in the United States in the legal and physical custody of their citizen parent before turning 18, and must not have previously acquired U.S. citizenship. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security issue a certificate of citizenship upon application and demonstration that these conditions have been fulfilled, with an application fee capped at no more than half the standard N-600 fee. However, there are significant exceptions, precluding citizenship for individuals deemed of poor moral character, those inadmissible for certain serious offenses, or those convicted of crimes such as promoting criminal gang activity, domestic violence, sexual abuse, or burglary.
