I'm born Chinese and my parents are atheist. However, I converted to Judaism as teenager and a lot of my friends want to go to birthright.
What is the procedure for "proof" that one is Jewish? I mean, my friends are very willing to vouch for me.

It seems like that's a decent amount to get through. I have a friend who really isn't "Jewish" though his mom is, he's never practiced.
He then needs to show proof that his mother is Jewish?

I've heard things about they just ask you a few questions about Jewish history, is it maybe only that?

You just need to show your conversion papers. And these papers should be valid. Usually - orthodox conversion. Your friends vouching for you has no merit what so ever!!! Good Luck!!!

First, just FYI (and this is information that ANY Jew should know, whether a Jew-by-birth or a Jew-by-choice), anyone born to a Jewish mother is a Jew, regardless of what religion they practice or don't practice.
As far as proving that you are Jewish, a letter from the beis din that supervised your conversion, or even from your rav, would no doubt suffice.
I hope this helps.

If you underwent Conversion, then bring the documents showing you converted.
Otherwise, if you go to Schul, talk to your Rabbi. He can write a letter vouching for your Jewish devotion.

You need to see the rabbi who converted you, he is the only one who can prove you are Jewish

If you converted, you must have the document to prove it.
That should be sufficient!

You need to be an Orthodox Jew. Other denominations of Judaism don't count for the purposes of conversion as when it comes to Judaism the state of Israel considers Orthodox to be well...Orthodox.

Didn't you get a certificate when you converted? Or consult w/ your Rabbi.

Your Rabbi, if you belong to a temple.
Consult with your Rabbi.

You show anatomical proof...
Or get your rabbi to write you a letter saying you were bar mitzvahed, etc
