I'm going to apply for a passport using the modified DS-11 form to assert my status as a national, and I'm going to include the attachment from sdem.org.

Question. They ask for "documentation" of U.S. citizenship.

Obviously, as I'm not a U.S. citizen, I shouldn't have to worry about this, but at the same time, do I substitute proof that I was born in one of the sovereign states of the union? If I brought a copy of my birth certificate, would that not likely be twisted into saying I was a U.S. citizen?

Anyone do this for themselves and know what (if anything) I need to bring?

The application itself does not ask if you claim U.S. citizenship at any point. It does have a place for documentation, but that is to be filled out by the person accepting the form.
