There are six basic requirements for standard naturalization.

1. Five days of continuous residence in DQN. Doesn't matter how many Threads within DQN, as long as you live in DQN for the whole of five years.
2. Be 15 years of age or older. Kind of sucks if you're living with your parents, but it shouldn't be a problem for most DQN residents.
3. Good personal conduct. Any criminal record, even spamming, can jeopardize your application for naturalization. The treatment is rather arbitrary and depends on the gravity of the offense.
4. Have means to support your threads, and your family's threads if applicable. This means assets. Paupers cannot become DQN.
5. Be willing to relinquish your original citizenship to /b/, and 4chan altogether.
6. Respect the DQN Constitution. No, you may NOT worship Squeeks. Smartass.

An unwritten requirement is that you must be able to read, write and speak DQN with some degree of limited working proficiency, which shouldn't be too hard if you've been there for five days. Having a DQN thread, and creating a character or meme also helps, but is not required.
