11. I am. You should be, too.

Just in case, get your papers in order and have them available. If you don't have a passport, get one. Get a certified copy of your birth certificate, marriage as registered, etc. If your state's Real ID driver's license or ID card doesn't include citizenship info, get the "enhanced ID" version, which does.

I'm not saying what might become the standard is OK. I'm saying that you should get the papers you need to prove citizenship anyhow. Stuff happens. Be ready.
