- By birth: Anyone born within the territory of the United States automatically acquires US citizenship. This principle is called jus soli.
- By descent: If at least one parent is a US citizen at the time of the child's birth, the child may automatically acquire US citizenship. This can be done through a process called acquisition of citizenship by birth abroad, where specific conditions and requirements must be met.
- By naturalization: Non-US citizens may become US citizens through a legal process called naturalization. This typically involves meeting certain eligibility requirements, including being at least 18 years old, being a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), residing in the United States for a specific period of time, and demonstrating knowledge of English and US civics, among other things.
