How to Get a Copy of Naturalization Certificate?

Your naturalization certificate is proof that you are a U.S. citizen and have successfully completed the citizenship process. If you lost the document is necessary to replace it.

A naturalization certificate can help you prove that you are authorized to live and work in the US, travel on a US passport, and vote in US elections. So, you need your naturalization certificate to prove your citizenship.

How to get a copy of naturalization certificate?

According to USCIS rules, if your naturalization certificate is lost, stolen, or damaged you need to get a new copy. You can apply for a copy of the naturalization certificate by filing Form N-565 with the USCIS.

In addition to filling out the form, you will need to attach two passport-style recent photos of yourself to your application and accomplish all the USCIS requirements outlined in the Form N-565 instructions.

Who is eligible to get a copy of naturalization certificate?

According to USCIS rules, you may apply for a replacement of the citizenship or naturalization certificate:

• If you had a certificate but it was lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated;
• If you were issued a certificate that is incorrect due to typographical/clerical error by USCIS;
• If your name was changed maybe by marriage, birth date was updated maybe by a court order, or your gender was changed and is legally recognized;
• If you need a special certificate of naturalization which might be required by a foreign country to recognize you as a US citizen;
• If you never had a naturalization or citizenship certificate this might not be the right form;

When filing Form N-565 you will also need to provide any documents that support your reason for requesting a second naturalization certificate.

This is because you are not permitted to have two certificates at once. If your original certificate has become damaged, for example, you will be required to submit the damaged certificate with your Form N-565.

If your certificate is outdated because your name has changed, you will need to provide a marriage certificate or court order showing your legal name change.Once you have filled out Form N-565 correctly and attached the photos and supporting documents as well as the current filing fee, you can fill out the form.

Generally, your new certificate will be mailed to you once your application has been processed. Following the form instructions and filling out your form correctly can ensure that there are no undue delays with your request.
