 Step 1
                 Collect Your Supplies Most items can be found at your local office supply store, or               craft/hobby store. Support your locally-owned businesses whenever possible.
Have your 2 Witness forms completed ahead of time to streamline the process and appointments.

Step 2

• Choose Your Status American State National / ASN– Achieved with a “1779 Declaration” also known as the “one-pager”.
  You may be part of the General Assembly and select/decide on county or in-state matters. Eligible to be in a Committee, Federation-Level Recording, and/or a Militia Peacekeeper.
  Federal employees or those who hold licenses (real estate, insurance, securities, registered nurses, doctors, attorneys, etc.) can only participate as an American State National, due to conflicts of interest.

ASN+928 Armor– Includes the American State National (ASN) paperwork, in addition to “extra armor”. This is not required for American State National (ASN) status, but it’s highly recommended.

American State Citizen/ASC– Achieved with the 928's
You may be part of the General, Jural, and/or Business Assemblies, and the Militia Peacekeepers. Positions are elected by the General Assembly, but one must be an American State Citizen or ASC-level status to be involved. You are *not required* to hold an office, should you decide to complete your 928s.
*Decide which status you’re eligible for, and then choose how you’ll have your papers notarized. You’ll need to have the proper “notarial block” on each record:
State Recorder (Land and soil Recorder)
Notary Public (State of State notaries: banks, courts, traveling notaries.) or an American Common Law Public Notary (American State Nationals/Citizens who are part of your County/State Assembly.)

  Fees will vary depending on your chosen method.
  You have several options:
  
  1. Land Recording Office (LRO) The fee is $25.00 per publishing. (Credential Cards are not included in the Publishing cost.)
  2. Newspaper publishing for 61 consecutive days.

  • Declaration of Political Status copy and Notice/cover letter to: U.S. Secretary of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Secretary of State where you were born, and the Lieutenant Governor on Minnesota.**
  • IRS
  • Internal Revenue Service
  • Revocation of Election to Vote (send to every County/State you’ve been Registered at). You may also complete an online form, email that entity, or call the Elections Office to cancel it, then ask for a confirmation letter.
  • Veterans letter to Commanding Officer of specific Branch(es). One for each branch. *Form 56 is no longer recommended. 
  • Baby Deeds– Letter to State of ____ Secretary of State (birth state of baby) with a copy of Baby Deed.
  • **Complete this before mailing your paperwork to your Recorder, if you want to be protected at an ASC-level. It will need an embossed seal, which most State of  notaries do not have available. The Recorder or Assembly Notary can notarize/emboss it for you. If you wish to do a Common Carry declaration, it will need an embossed seal as well.
    These letters will need to be Recorded and Published with the Registered Mail Receipt (Post Office Form 3806). Before sending it to the de facto offices, take a scan/photo of your letter (front/back). Print a copy and mail it with the Receipt to your Recorder. Again, this step is optional for ASN status.
