This section explains how to prove citizenship for mining claims listed in other sections. An individual can use their own sworn affidavit. An unincorporated association uses its agent's affidavit, and a corporation files a certified copy of its charter.

Sections 21, 22 through 24, 26 through 28, 29, 30, 33 through 48, 50 through 52, and 71 through 76 of this title, plus section 661 of title 43, all require proof of citizenship. This section says how that proof may be given. An individual can prove citizenship with their own affidavit. An unincorporated association can prove it with an affidavit from its authorized agent — the agent can swear based on personal knowledge, or on information and belief. A corporation organized under the laws of the United States, or of any state or territory, can prove it by filing a certified copy of its charter or certificate of incorporation.
