You don't have to do anything. You're already a citizen

1. Determine whether US Citizenship and Immigration Services does, or might, have a record for you. USCIS can service requests for naturalization records with:
o Index to all naturalizations since 27 Sep 1906
o C-Files (Declaration of Intention, Petition, Certificate), from 27 Sep 1906 to present.
2. Request a USCIS Form G-639 via email.
3. Upon receipt of Form G-639, fill it out, including at least your immigrant's full name, date of birth (or approximate date), and country of birth. Alternate names/spellings can be helpful. Where they settled in the United States can be helpful (as long as they stayed in one place). Ask for "any and all records, especially any naturalization records."
4. Attach any documentation you have, such as a copy of an old certificate, old immigrant identification card, or whatever you have relating to immigration and naturalization. If the immigrant's birthdate is less than 100 years ago, attach a copy of the death certificate, an obituary from the newspaper, or something showing the person is deceased.
5. Make a copy of all of this.
6. Mail it to:
USCIS Freedom of Information
2nd Floor ULLB,
111 Massachusetts Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20529.
7. In 2 or 3 weeks, you should get a receipt in the mail saying INS received your request and assigned it a case number (shown on the receipt). Keep this receipt, because you may need that number.
8. Not usually necessary, but be prepared! - If you don't get a receipt in about one month, send in another copy of your request, and do so until you get that receipt.
9. Wait. If you are in the system, your number has to come up eventualy

Even though ur mom took the oath, u r a citizen, But you still need to get a naturalization certificate. Since ur mom took oath for you u must send N-400 and about 386 dollar money order (not sure about the price) it will take 6-8 month they will send u appointment letter. U must go there and take a test, when u pass u will get the oath appiontment in about 2-3 months. Oce u take the oth u will get the certificate. Total process takes about 1 year.

You were not naturalized (because you didn't take the oath) but you received citizenship anyway, through your mother's naturalization. You are not entitled to a naturalization certificate, nor a certificate of citizenship, which is what they give to children. Your passport is the only record you will ever have. Don't lose it.
