Naturalization is the process of granting citizenship privileges and responsibilities to foreign-born residents. Naturalization papers are an important source of information about an immigrant's place of origin, foreign and Americanized names, residence, and date of arrival. | Naturalization is the process of granting citizenship privileges and responsibilities to foreign-born residents.

Various types of records were created during the naturalization process, including declarations of intention, petitions for naturalization, oaths of allegiance, and certificates of citizenship. Each record can give details such as a person’s age, residence, place of origin, date and port of arrival, name of the ship, spouse, children, and current address. | Various types of records were created during the naturalization process, including declarations of intention, petitions for naturalization, oaths of allegiance, and certificates of citizenship.

Naturalization records in Minnesota made before 1906 have no general index, although individual volumes from some courts may be indexed. Applications for citizenship are essential records to search in a state with so many immigrants. Even if an immigrant ancestor did not complete the process and become a citizen, he or she may have filed an application. These application records still exist and can be very helpful. | Naturalization records in Minnesota made before 1906 have no general index, although individual volumes from some courts may be indexed.
