RB-3
 

Citizenship is a material factor in applying tax provisions. Generally, RRB accepts a claim that an individual is a citizen of the country of birth unless there is information or evidence to the contrary.

**Conclusive Evidence of U.S. Citizenship**

Any of the following documents is generally conclusive evidence of U.S. citizenship for the person to whom the document is issued regardless of where the person was born.
                        - Birth certificate showing birth in the U.S.
                        - U.S. passport
                        - Certificate of Citizenship or Certificate of Naturalization
                        - Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States (Form FS-240).
                        - Certificate of Birth (Form FS-545)
                        - United States Citizen Identification Card (INS Form I-197)

**Evidence of Citizenship in Other Countries**

Documents similar to those listed above may be submitted as evidence to prove citizenship in another country, such as:
                        - Birth certificate showing birth in that country
                        - Passport issued by the country
                        - Certificates of citizenship, naturalization, or citizen identification cards issued by the country.

U.S. citizens or residents should complete Form RRB-1001, "Non-resident Questionnaire," on leaving the United States to take up permanent or temporary residence in a foreign country. The Internal Revenue Service requires that residents of tax-treaty countries claim their exemption every three years by completing an RRB-1001. The form may be secured from RRB field offices or requested by mail from the:

**Bureau of Taxation**

 

Proof of residence is required when an individual claims residence on the RRB-1001 in a country that is not the country in the mailing address. Acceptable proofs of residence must be valid for the period of time for which residence is to be verified; the date of issuance must be within one year of the period of residence to be established. Acceptable proofs of residence are:

**In the United States**
                        - A Valid Alien Registration Receipt Card ("Green Card"), Form I-151 or I-551.
                        - Reentry Permit (Form I-132). Whether first-issued or renewed, the permit is valid for one year.
                        - U.S. Federal income tax return for the most recent tax year (this may be a photocopy and need not be certified by IRS).
                        - Refugee travel document issued by the United States.
                        - Application to Retain U.S. Residence (INS Form N-470). A photocopy is acceptable.
