Join the National Park Service as we welcome new citizens during a naturalization ceremony at Point Reyes National Seashore. This is one of many naturalization ceremonies taking place in national parks, frequently during Citizenship Week, under a partnership between the National Park Service and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In 2010, the National Park Service and USCIS renewed a formal partnership to enhance citizenship ceremonies by holding them in national parks throughout the country. The agreement helps introduce new citizens to some of the nation's most significant natural resources and cultural heritage sites. These historic and picturesque sites provide an ideal backdrop for citizenship ceremonies, where new citizens can learn about and reflect on American identity and the responsibilities of citizenship. On Tuesday, October 22, 2024, 42 individuals from Austria, Belize, Brazil, Cambodia, Chile, France, Germany, Haiti, Honduras, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nepal, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Spain, and United Kingdom became citizens of the United States during the naturalization ceremony at Point Reyes. |
