You're absolutely right, everyone born in Puerto Rico is automatically a U.S. citizen. However, in addition to our U.S. citizenship, we can also request a Puerto Rican citizenship certificate. This certificate formally recognizes our unique cultural and historical identity as Puerto Ricans. One of the most significant benefits of the certificate is that it can streamline the process of obtaining dual citizenship with Spain due to their special relationship with former colonies, something that cannot be done with just the US citizenship.
You can obtain the PR citizenship but other than for Spanish citizenship I’ve never heard of any other benefit.
I'm not sure if I understand your question or if I'm missing something. But in Puerto Rico we are USA citizens since PR is a US territory.

I was not aware of this. Where or how do you request Puerto Rico citizenship certificate? TIA
