STEP ONE: The Affidavit

Completing and mailing your cover letter and affidavit is the first and most important step in declaring your status as a national.
READ FIRST

The affidavit is the only way to officially change your political status and has to be mailed to the U.S. Secretary of State before you begin anything else. Otherwise, you are still a 14th Amendment Federal citizen and receive only Civil Rights from the Federal Government, and no constitutional protections.

As a national, one of the original free people in this country, God is your law-giver, and your state is your vehicle in which you exercise your political power along with the rest of the free-people in your state.

As a U.S. citizen, you are completely subject to the Federal Government and are buried under their laws. You need a license to travel, to own a gun, and to own a business. To have a license is to have permission to do what is otherwise illegal by default. You don't have rights, if you did, you wouldn't need a license for any of these things. What you have instead are privileges, that are given to you.

And over the years, these privileges have been scaled back, inch by inch. 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. But it is not necessary to obtain a U.S. passport in order to officially change your political status to national, your affidavit will accomplish that.

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 and accurately.

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."

The affidavit is essentially composed of two key statements presented in two simple paragraphs. While you may include additional information if you choose, we recommend following Roger’s method. His approach emphasizes keeping the affidavit brief, precise, and aligned with the suggested wording. Adding unnecessary details only increases the likelihood of receiving a rebuttal.

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.

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 green 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 renew 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?

They will most likely not want you on a jury when you show them your affidavit.

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.

You've mailed your affidavit and reclaimed your national status! We have a gift for you to commemorate this moment, a beautiful Certificate of National Status. 

Success

That's all it takes to exercise your right to officially correct your political status to a national! You could stop here and do nothing else, but we recommend that you at least follow through with Step Two: Notices and Step Three: Passport, but it's your choice.

Mailing your Agency Notices

The U.S. Department of State does not automatically inform other relevant agencies, even if you have requested them to do so in your affidavit of citizenship evidence cover letter during Step One. Failing to notify these agencies or any other pertinent entities could potentially complicate the process of defending your status in the event of future interactions.

    Is that common for people to get a rejection letter? Have they had people other than Andrea say this happened to them???

    1. Admin says:

      Yes, a lot of people have received Mrs. Robinson's letter after submitting an application for a passport. David and I both received one.

      1. David says:

        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?
