STEP ONE: The Affidavit
Completing and mailing your cover letter and affidavit is the first and most critical step in reclaiming your status as a national.
We have come to realize that we are subject to a political status of voluntary servitude as U.S. citizens. In light of this understanding, the formal process to correct this status involves voluntarily submitting an affidavit to the U.S. Department of State.
The instructions for this process are clearly stated in the warning box alert within the passport application. This warning box can be found on page 4 of the application instructions and includes the statement “you can submit documents, including affidavits.” This serves as a means for individuals to voluntarily opt out. It is important to note that this information is included in both the original and renewal passport applications. It is not necessary to obtain a U.S. passport in order to officially change your political status to national.
The necessary information can be found in the passport application; however, obtaining a passport is not a requirement to officially correct your political status to that of a national. While acquiring a new or renewed passport is a crucial step in this process, it is important to first complete your affidavit and its cover letter and submit them to the U.S. Department of State.
In the next step of the process, it will be necessary to include a copy of this cover letter and affidavit with your passport application. The affidavit will play a crucial role in various stages of your journey towards obtaining freedom. Therefore, it is imperative that you complete this step promptly.
Declare your freedom with the Affidavit of Citizenship Evidence!
” I _____ being duly sworn, hereby declare my intention to be a national but not a citizen of the United States.”

One of the most common ways government and corporate institutions rob, cheat, and control us is with something called “default contracts.” Through our “silence,” they presume authority to own us, our property, our wealth, and our privacy. Sadly, our courts and statutes actually support this due to some odd contents of the Uniform Commercial Code. This video demonstrates one way to remedy those unintended “obligations.”
This video was not produced by legal experts or professional advisers; it is a layman’s opinion intended only to provoke thought. Use these principles at your own risk.
The affidavit consists essentially of two statements in the form of two simple paragraphs.
First Paragraph
The first paragraph applies to your political status. It is essentially an augmented version of a one-sentence statement that comes directly from the Department of State policy in a document found on the State Department’s own web site:
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Certificates-Non-Citizen-Nationality.html
This statement, rebutting the presumption of law that is operating unseen, is all that is needed to officially switch your political status from a U.S. citizen to a national. Instead of long statements or quoting court cases, this statement is all that is required. When this declaration is put into affidavit form, signed under penalty of perjury, it cannot be overcome except with another affidavit, signed under penalty of perjury, contradicting your stated facts. They not only cannot but will never do this, as it will expose them as tyrants.
Second Paragraph
The second paragraph is focused on the Internal Revenue Service and puts them on notice. This statement in an affidavit connects the definition of a national to the IRS-recognized definition of a nonresident alien in that a national is nonresident to the jurisdiction of the 14th Amendment and the national status is alien to the federal status. Their jurisdictional statement in the IRS code at 26 C.F.R. 1.1-1(a) relieves a nonresident alien of any federal tax obligations other than those stated in two obscure sections where a nonresident alien may work for the federal government directly or work with the geographical area of the District of Columbia.

Draft a short and concise cover letter and include it with your affidavit addressed to the U.S. Department of State.

Print at least 5 copies of your affidavit and have them all notarized.
You will need originals for your passport application and IRS notice, and keep at least one for your files. Then make about 10 copies of the notarized affidavit for sending your notices in the next step.
Please remember that it’s YOUR affidavit, you can add anything you want (bible scripture, statutes, etc.) There is no set way to write YOUR affidavit. The only thing we suggest is that you try to keep it to one page.

Mail one notarized affidavit and signed cover letter to the Department of State, “Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested.” Do not staple your documents; use a paperclip.
The Honorable Marco Rubio
U.S. Department of State
2201 C Street, NW
Washington, DC 20520
You should receive the certified mail receipt card around three weeks later, with the signature of the person who signed for it at the Department of State. Be sure to save this receipt. But if you don’t receive it, don’t worry; sometimes the cards get lost in the mailing process, and you still have your copy that shows the date mailed.
- For more information on the proper way to address your envelope to the Secretary of State, visit this page: https://formsofaddress.info/secretary_cabinet_member/
- We also strongly suggest that you always use the option of Return Receipt Requested on the green post office form.
- Don’t sign your affidavit until you are in front of the notary.
- Remember to write your address on the back of the green card when preparing it for mailing. You won’t get it back if you forget to write your address.
- When the green receipt is returned, you will have proof and verification of mailing, as well as the State Department receipt of your submitted citizenship evidence and change in political status to national.
- Here’s a short video that explains how to use the certified mailing process:

- Take a look at the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 CFR 1.1-1(a)
- In U.S.C. 28, Section 1746, there are two jurats, or penalty of perjury statements. One is titled “without,” and the other is “within.” It is suggested that you use the “without” jurat. Which is, if executed without the United States: “I declare (certify, verify, or state) under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on (date). If you want to take the time to look, you will see the “within” jurat leaves off “of America.”.
- Your notarized Affidavit of Citizenship Evidence is now established as court testimony, which is what an affidavit is legally.
- Another advantage we currently possess is that over many years we have been able to greatly simplify and expedite the process of learning the basic facts and confidence needed to defend a decision to change your political status back to what the older law cases refer to as “state citizenship.” Now, that status has had the naming label changed to national by the historical slavers in their latest accomplishment of enslaving the masses through trickery, fraud, and Pavlovian conditioning.
- Because you are not paying for or receiving a U.S. passport when submitting your affidavit of citizenship evidence and cover letter, you will have no official ID sent to you that indicates your new political status as a national. In this case, you may want additional documentation verifying your declaration as well as the mailing of the document. If you need an additional piece of mind, have the notary do an additional affidavit of their own, stating what your notarized document states and that the notary witnessed you putting it into a mailing envelope with RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. With the number from the green form noted,.
What happens once you file your affidavit?
You free yourself from the administrative state (approximately 600 agencies), but everything continues to move along the same; the only thing that changes is YOU, by educating yourself and learning how to live privately.
What is the status that we will be known by?
National; no other adjectives.
How does your life change after becoming a national?
When you file your affidavit, the world doesn’t change; you’ve got to be the change. And the way you change is by learning the information and having a firm grasp on how to protect your status. That allows you to be empowered. That allows you to be a belligerent claimant. That allows you to explain it to others. It also gives you the knowledge that when the current system fails and people are looking for answers for rebuilding, you’re the one they will come to. Another way it changes your life is that we say no to codes and man-made laws.
Do I need to hire an attorney to write my affidavit?
No, attorneys are probably not even aware of the national status and would not be familiar with this process.
All that is needed is for you to submit your affidavit of citizenship evidence to the U.S. Secretary of State. We recommend that you follow the first three steps to complete the process. (affidavit, notices, and renews your passport). We offer free courses in the National Status Academy that will explain the complete process and concepts.
What can I put on the passport number line if I don’t have a passport?
The passport number just represents the ID type that the U.S. Department of State could use to properly identify you. If you don’t have a current passport, any official identification can be used, or the last 4 digits of your social security number. Any government-issued ID, such as a driver’s license, military ID, or state ID, will also work.
Is it important to file an affidavit for our children?
Yes, your children also need an affidavit filed. If they do not have one filed, they will be at risk as a US citizen. They could be at risk in schools, hospitals, and doctor offices. Also, in public areas, CPS is imposing its overreach. As a national, those agencies would be exceeding their jurisdiction; for example, a 12-year-old being able to consent for themselves without mom/dad consent.
Example for a child’s affidavit signature section. The “Build your child’s affidavit” section above is a form that will write an affidavit for your child with the proper signature section.
Can I serve on jury duty if I am a national?
No, when you show them your affidavit, they will not allow you to serve.
Am I protected from the draft if I am a national?
Yes, they can only make those types of dictates to someone who is a U.S. citizen. It is a wise idea to get your affidavit of citizenship evidence mailed to the Secretary of State as soon as you possibly can.
Why a one-page affidavit?
A simple one-page affidavit doesn’t give them much room for objections. Keeping it as simple as you can is always a good idea.
When I send in my Affidavit of Citizenship Evidence, do I sign like I have my whole life (First, Middle, Last) or do I sign (Last: First-Middle)?
Signing the way you have always signed legal documents should suffice. But you can sign any way you would like, as long as the notary identifies you correctly.

Is that common for people to get a rejection letter? Have they had people other than Andrea say this happened to them???
Yes, a lot of people have received Mrs. Robinson’s letter after submitting an application for a passport. David and I both received one.
We actually have detailed information in the passport section of the Remedy section of the website. In the passport section, go to the gray tab called “The Ms. Robinson Letter”. See: https://nationalstatus.info/the-remedy/passports/
Hello,
My husband and I sent our Affidavit to the State Dept and received a letter saying it was rejected. That was all we received. I have a screen shot of the letter and have posted that on the Telegram channel NationalStatusInfo. I have also sent the letter to Roger via email but have not heard back from him. We want to move forward but don’t know what to do next. I don’t see a remedy for having our Affidavit outright rejected by the State Dept?
Andrea
Sounds like you got a Mrs. Robinson letter. You can reply if you want, we have a form builder to help. Go to the Passports page, look for the gray bar “The Mrs. Robinson Letter”.
Today, I sent my notices and affidavits for myself and my minor son! Thanks for the great site and help from David and Kay! I’m now going to look for my certificate in the mail, because why not have a little fun with it?
Whoohoo!
Janet
Congratulations Janet! That’s awesome and I hope you enjoy your certificate.
