Citizenship Day

Citizenship Day marks the day the people of CNMI became full citizens of the United States. Citizenship Day represents the CNMI’s political union with the United States and symbolizes the strengthened relationships with federal and military partners. The origins of this day go back to November 3, 1986, when President Ronald Reagan welcomed the CNMI into the American family. Citizenship Day underscores the unity, resilience, and future aspirations of our island communities as part of the broader American family.
