The applicant's affidavit gave his name, birthplace, date and place of declaration of intention, date of arrival to the United States, and sovereign. The affidavit included an oath of renunciation of allegiance to his former sovereign and a declaration that the applicant is not insane, epileptic, a pauper, beggar, contagious, a felon, guilty of moral turpitude, a polygamist, anarchist, or pimp. The affidavits of two witnesses confirmed the applicant's statements and declared his worthiness to become a citizen. A copy of a certificate of citizenship form was then completed reiterating this information and ordering his admittance as a citizen. In 1906, a uniform federal naturalization law was enacted requiring that each court use pre-printed forms in volumes furnished by the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization of the Department of Commerce and Labor.
Entries are chronological.
The fiche was filmed with the camera head upside down so pairs of pages appear in reverse order. Declarations of intention to become a citizen filed in the District Court in and for Millard County by some whose certificates are in this series have not been located. The minutes for the court will also discuss the naturalization hearings in more detail. Some declarations of intention for those whose naturalization papers are filed here may have been recorded in other series. Until 1906 Millard County residents could have filed citizenship papers anywhere in the country.
